The NAWBO Institute for Entrepreneurial Development is a 501(c)3 non-profit educational foundation that seeks to provide opportunities for capacity building and organizational development for emerging and established women entrepreneurs. Through the NAWBO Institute, we aim to strengthen the wealth-creating capacity of women business owners and to promote economic development within the entrepreneurial community so that we can build a legacy of success for the next generation of women entrepreneurs. We do this in a number of ways – our Circle Program (link) for women business owners with $1-million-dollar+ businesses, our Certification Program (link) to help more women gain access to larger resources and contracts, our Endowment Program (link) to leave a legacy of entrepreneurship and empowerment, and our NAWBO Institute to provide invaluable resources for women business owners at any stage of business.
