Since 2020, we’ve expanded support for women small business owners through the Milestone Circles program. With over 4,000 graduates—the majority of whom are women of color—we’ve helped participants reach key business milestones while gaining valuable insights into their experiences, particularly around access to capital. These insights inform research and resource development to build confidence, create opportunities, and drive revenue growth. We continue to leverage this knowledge to design new technical support models focused on enhancing capital readiness, while also establishing prestigious thought leadership platforms for storytelling, recognition, and celebration.
