Education


We believe every entrepreneur and small business owner deserves the chance to learn how to start and grow a successful business—especially in our rural communities. That’s why we’ve created easy-to-access, no-cost programs like the Rural Women-Led Business Fund and the Fortaleza Fund.

These programs are free for rural communities in Colorado and offer more than just education—they also open the door to grant opportunities and low-interest loans. Plus, we host helpful workshops throughout the year on a variety of business topics to keep you learning, growing, and moving forward.
