The Foundation for Wisconsin Women Entrepreneurs is a non-profit organization that funds E3, Experiential Entrepreneurial Education, for women and, through GIRLS’BIZ, empowers girls to start and manage their own group business.
GIRLS’BIZ empowers middle school girls, ages 11 through 13, to develop and manage their own group business.
Each year, girls come together under the leadership of adult business advisors who help them choose a company name and work with a designer on a logo. The girls survey Wisconsin Women Entrepreneurs – Southcentral members for product ideas and use the survey results to select products. They learn how to price, purchase and market the products, to manage finances, and other skills needed for running a business. Each year, part of the profit becomes a charitable gift chosen by the group, and the remaining profit funds a group trip at the end of the program year.
The Foundation seeks funding and partners in our mission to
- Expand the number of GIRLSBIZ groups in Madison, in Wisconsin, nationally and globally. For the past 20 years there has been one GIRLS’BIZ group sponsored by Wisconsin Women Entrepreneurs Southcentral, Inc.
- Offer E3 (experiential entrepreneurial education) for women entrepreneurs through scholarships and grants.
Become part of this rewarding adventure today! Help us meet the demand for expanding this wonderful GIRLS’BIZ program and providing women E3!
