Texas Humanities Grants

Local First Arizona’s We Rise business accelerator is a new, no-fee, six-month program designed to provide comprehensive and practical business skills to Black entrepreneurs in Arizona. This initiative aligns with Local First Arizona's mission to strengthen the local economy by supporting small businesses and entrepreneurs, specifically targeting a demographic that may face unique challenges in starting and growing businesses. The program aims to foster economic empowerment and success within the Black entrepreneurial community in Arizona. The primary target beneficiaries are Black American entrepreneurs aged 18 and older, who have some existing experience in running a business but require assistance with fundamental components of entrepreneurship. This includes individuals who need support in areas such as creating a business plan, registering their business, and other essential building blocks for establishing or growing a successful venture. The program prioritizes addressing these foundational gaps to ensure participants can build robust and sustainable businesses within Arizona's economy. The program's core focus is on providing classroom instruction and mentorship through remote learning, with bi-weekly meetings. The mentorship is provided by experienced Black entrepreneurs, offering firsthand insights and expertise. This approach ensures that participants receive relevant and practical guidance tailored to their specific needs. A key priority is the rigorous engagement of participants, with a strict attendance policy allowing only one absence, underscoring the commitment expected from those enrolled. Expected outcomes include equipping participants with the necessary knowledge and skills to successfully establish, operate, or expand their businesses. Measurable results would likely include the number of businesses registered, business plans created, and overall growth or sustainability metrics of participating enterprises. The program's theory of change posits that by providing targeted training and mentorship to Black entrepreneurs, Local First Arizona can directly contribute to closing economic opportunity gaps, stimulating local economic growth, and building a more inclusive and prosperous business landscape in Arizona.
