How Your Support Makes a Difference
Turning Adversity into Opportunity
Every dollar raised helps small business owners overcome unexpected tragedies, from natural disasters to financial hardship. Your contributions fuel our programs and also extend to partner organizations who can serve business owners in ways we cannot—ensuring the broadest possible impact for entrepreneurs, their families, and their communities.
At the Business with Purpose Foundation, every dollar raised goes directly to programs that empower small business owners and entrepreneurs. Your support provides:
- Scholarships – Giving young entrepreneurs and struggling small business owners access to education, mentorship, and tools they otherwise could not afford.
- Emergency Relief Grants – Helping business owners recover and rebuild after disasters such as wildfires, floods, hurricanes, or economic setbacks.
- Business Growth Programs – Workshops, masterminds, and training that equip entrepreneurs to create sustainable, profitable businesses.
- Community & Relationship Building – Networking and collaboration opportunities that strengthen local economies and reduce isolation among business owners.
When you give, you’re not just making a donation—you’re restoring hope and investing in lives. You’re helping business owners rise from hardship, stabilize their future, and create ripple effects that touch families, neighborhoods, and entire communities.
Together, we are building stronger businesses, stronger relationships, and stronger purpose—one entrepreneur at a time.

“Bridges are not structures, but people – people who have been changed on the inside through the joyful and difficult work of building relationships in a second or third culture. These people carry within them an ability to identify compassionately with others. These Bridge Leaders have the ability to move back and forth between groups, and so can stand with multiple language groups, religious groups, political parties, and even countries. Because of who they have become, Bridges can bring us together. Bridges are shaped and inspired by the prayer that Jesus prayed to God the Father: As you sent me into the world, so I have sent them into the world…I in them and you in me, that they may become perfectly one, so that the world may know that you sent me and loved them even as you loved me (John 17:21-23). People become Bridges, and Bridges can bring us together.”
