This year marks an exciting milestone as NDWBC participates in Giving Hearts Day for the first time on February 13! With Main Street businesses facing unprecedented challenges — AI, outsourcing, rising commercial leases, and cybersecurity threats — our mission has never been more critical.
In 2024 alone, we’ve supported more than 1,000 clients, providing resources, technical guidance, and strategic direction to help them navigate their challenges. These entrepreneurs and small business owners are the backbone of our communities, driving economic impact, creating jobs, and supporting local causes.
As we approach our 25th Year of Impact, we are setting an ambitious goal: to raise $25,000 this Giving Hearts Day to provide free training, scholarships, and resources for small business owners. Your support can help us double our impact, ensuring that entrepreneurs across North Dakota have the tools they need to succeed. When you support NDWBC, you are supporting initiatives like:
- $1,000 – sponsoring an owner in NDWBC’s Intensive Courses, offering in-depth guidance on business growth.
- $500 – sponsoring an owner at the Women’s Business Summit, connecting them with peers and hands-on training.
- $250 – helping an owner certify her business as Woman-Owned, opening up new markets and opportunities.
- $25 – sponsoring an owner to attend one of NDWBC’s Strong Women networking events, building connections critical to success.
We are excited to share the call and invite our partners, clients, and community champions to join us this Giving Hearts Day to ensure small businesses get the support they need to thrive. If you want to help NDWBC meet our match this Giving Hearts Day, make your match donation by February 13. NDWBC encourages you to use our Zeffy link, which ensures 100% of your gift goes directly to NDWBC.
