United Way Partner Spotlight – MORTAR Cincinnati

United Way of Greater Cincinnati announced in December that 80 percent of investments would now be directed toward moving children and families out of poverty. Part of that effort will include investing in innovative strategies, such as the MORTAR Entrepreneurship Academy. MORTAR is also one of eight new United Way partners that is black-owned and operated. This is part of United Way’s intentional decisions to be inclusive and create more space for equity in our community. MORTAR’s mission is clear: “Building Communities Through Entrepreneurship.” Co-Founder Allen Woods explains how important this new partnership is for our community at large.
