Grant Recipient
The University of Chicago - Office of Civic Engagement
UChicago Office of Civic Engagement (OCE), the Polsky Center for Entrepreneurship and Innovation, and its current local financial partners including Chicago Community Loan Fund (CCLF) and Seaway, a Division of Self-Help Federal Credit Union, request a $25,000 planning grant from the Fund for Equitable Business Growth. These funds will enable the partnership, in early 2022, supported by learnings gained from the pilot implementation and robust evaluation of the Small Business Financial Fundamentals (SBFF), to re-examine the program’s partnership model, to make refinements to the program design including the core curriculum engaging UChicago Booth School of Business faculty and local banking partners, and to participate in co-learning opportunities between the funders and the BSO cohort. Over this period, the project team will also gather additional data and feedback from SBFF pilot participants and connect them to ongoing supports and resources to inform future enhancements to SBFF. The partnership will integrate shared learnings and prepare to advance a second program cycle of SBFF, which is responsive to the evolving needs of entrepreneurs of color. Through SBFF, UChicago and its local banking partners will continue to support local entrepreneurs to build financial management knowledge and skills, support recovery and resilience as firms rebound from the pandemic, and help prepare these businesses to ultimately apply for and absorb financial capital.
