MORTAR WORKS...
to ensure that our entrepreneurs (the majority of which are from historically marginalized populations) are connected to the tools, resources and support need to build businesses, acquire wealth and transform communities. Your donation helps revitalize cities one entrepreneur at a time.
We wouldn’t be where we are without our awesome partners.
A lot goes into building a community, and we wouldn’t be where we are now if we’d tried to go out and do it alone. During the past couple years, we’ve developed some pretty amazing relationships with our partners, financial contributors and supporters – and it’s this team effort that enables us to reach more people, in more communities with even more more of an impact. There’s still a lot more that we want to do, so we’re always searching for more people and organizations to build with us. There are so many moving parts to this plan that we’ve decided to roll out a blueprint of our needs here. It’s our hope that you will join us in building the next generation of Cincinnati Entrepreneurs!

Whatever it is, if it’s helping us build urban entrepreneurs, we’re all in.
If you’re unable to assist us with the things on our list, maybe your helping hand comes in the form of a letter to one of the organizations that you work with; suggesting that they support the work that we’re doing in Cincinnati and abroad. That alone may be the spark needed to motivate others to jump on board with their partnerships or in-kind donations. Perhaps your support comes in the form of offering to meet us for a cup of coffee and sharing some of your insights.
