How It Works:

  • PREREQUISITES: Completion of and referral from an approved program (Spark Tank, Cortex's Square One, WePower, Beyond Housing's Biz Smart, or our ROOTED program). In the alternative, consistent active participation in the monthly Business & Wealth Growth Group will satisfy the prerequisite.

  • Members fully govern the program. A constitution is drafted, officers are selected, and the entire membership decides upon the final rules for the cycle. Members hold one another accountable to the constitution, for the betterment of the whole group.

  • Members make bi-monthly savings deposits towards their business into a dedicated INVEST CHANGE account.

  • According to the terms of the constitution, members may apply to their fellow group members for 0% interest micro-loans per constitution guidelines. Approved loans may be matched up to 5x through banking partners, private donors, corporate and faith-based partners. Members repay loans based upon pre agreed upon repayment terms as outlined in the constitution.

  • At the end of the cycle, members withdraw their savings or recommit for a new cycle.

  • Membership fee of $100 (with $50 refundable upon completion).
