Enterprise strengthens family, ecological and economic resilience through consulting, financial and business assistance to entrepreneurs, non-profits and others that deliver economic, social and/or environmental benefits to local communities and the larger region.
Since 1995 the Enterprise team has delivered non-bank investment capital and expert services in new ways to rural people and places experiencing the end of a long tradition of prosperity based on resource abundance.
