How do you define prosperity? You may be tempted to scoff at the mere thought of defining it since the meaning may have changed significantly for you in the face of the confusing economic and social times we're living through. At Collective Initiatives, despite the uncertainty, we're working hard to help our Black and Latinx clients in Chicago press on with their entrepreneurial and personal development goals that they believe will mean prosperity for them. Goals such as starting and successfully managing their own businesses and learning holistic approaches to feeling more balanced and capable in all facets of their lives. This month we hope to get them a little closer to their goals through our fall fundraiser, Progress Towards Prosperity. As a nonprofit facing some of the same challenges we're working to help our clients address, we know firsthand the importance of community in fostering an environment of kindred spirits that facilitates prosperity and rewards hard work. To that end, we invite you to become one of those kindred spirits and financially support our campaign, and help us reach our modest $14,000 by September 30.
