From federal agencies like the Small Business Administration to your local chamber of commerce, Interise establishes partnerships with a range of nonprofit, private, and public organizations to help empower minority- and women-owned business enterprises (MWBEs).
By offering Interise programs in their communities, underwriting the development of new initiatives, and supporting our research priorities, our partners do more than grow MWBEs across the country; they actively contribute to the development of an economy that works for all, not just the few.
Program Partners
We collaborate with local governments and nonprofits nationwide to deliver our high-impact programing—from the award-winning StreetWise MBA, in both English and Spanish, to Small Business Stronger, and more. These offerings are designed for immediate impact, and can also be customized to meet the unique needs of small business owners in your community.
Interise provides our program partners with:
- Trained faculty, concierge managers, and a cutting-edge curriculum
- Quality assurance, site visits, and participant satisfaction monitoring
- Evaluation of local participants over a three-year period
OUR PRESENTING PARTNERS
Foundation Partners
Interise research initiatives are supported by generous foundations whose missions are aligned with our own: to create a blueprint for equitable economic development.
Our foundation partners underwrite social science research that informs the development of our programming—and drives real-world change. If your foundation’s goals include widening the diversity of America’s entrepreneurial class and creating capital in low-wealth localities, please get in touch.
