Collaboration Station

Vision Statement:  To See All Entrepreneurs Fulfill Their Destiny!
While entrepreneurship is NOT for everyone, for those who have found their purpose in business start-up, we are here to help.  Collaboration Station focuses on providing:

1) Access to credible, general information to help both nonprofit and for-profit entrepreneurs through training seminars and SME (Subject Matter Expert) small group sessions

2) Access to one-on-one coaching to help individuals develop a strategy for growing their business idea from where they are now

3) Access to information on grants, contracts, resource fairs, and related funding opportunities

4) Access to a business writing lab to assist in the preparation of the 501c3 applications, business proposals and funding proposals

5) Access to an Entrepreneurs Fund still in development. This is a project designed to provide distressed populations with access to forgiveness financing to establish legal structure and gain marketing items for their business start-up

Target Population:  Who Do We Serve?
Thinking Outside the Box. . . .

While our programs and services are open to any entrepreneur seeking assistance, for those re-building their lives after incarceration, addiction, hearing or sight impaired, domestic violence and other 'real life' scenarios, entrepreneurship can be more than just a dream--it can be a way OUT of a distressed life, or a way to help others just like themselves as they come OUT!  To that end, our approach is about thinking outside of the box to meet each person's need.

1) Primary Target Audience:  ex-offenders, single parents, seniors, individuals in addiction recovery, domestic violence victims, veterans and the developmentally challenged

2) Secondary Target Audience:  recession victims and moderate-income individuals
