Center for Inclusive Entrepreneurship - Main Office

The Center for Inclusive Entrepreneurship (CIE) partners with people in the margins to build a better world through business ownership.

About

The Center for Inclusive Entrepreneurship (CIE) provides inclusive and accessible first step business training and support empowering individuals with limited resources in underserved Northwest communities to start microenterprises, become financially self-sufficient, create jobs, build generational wealth, and lead the development of equitable, resilient, and sustainable local economies and communities.

CIE serves people who have been disproportionately impacted by COVID-19 and who have traditionally been excluded from business ownership opportunities. Our participants include Indigenous people, recent immigrants, people of color, people with disabilities, people identifying as LGBTQA+, returning veterans, formerly incarcerated people in re-entry, and people recovering from the trauma of domestic violence or homelessness.

CIE has a nine-year track record of delivering entrepreneurship training, advising, mentorship, networking, and peer support to low-income and underserved communities. Our participants have launched over 180 new businesses creating approximately 240 new jobs, and have secured over $3,400,000 in startup, stabilization, or expansion financing.

 

CIE serves Clallam, Jefferson, Skagit Island, Whatcom, Whitman, Garfield, Asotin and North Snohomish Counties
