Your talents and expertise can help small businesses thrive

Are you looking for meaningful ways to give back?

You can make a difference in helping small business owners by partnering with us.

It’s no secret that small businesses are still taking a toll from the economic effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. This toll is especially felt among small business owners in the Black and Latinx communities.

At IFEL we’re committed to help historically excluded communities succeed as small business owners. You too can join us in the fight to help these small businesses survive and thrive.

The best part, we make it easy to participate and it only takes two hours of your time to make a life-changing difference.

Small businesses are the backbone of local communities; together we can help pave the way for a thriving economy. “Small Businesses Need Us” initiative is helping small businesses survive in the wake of the pandemic's economic impacts.
