Business Funding & Research
The Business Funding and Research division supports founders who are building solutions that strengthen communities and expand economic pathways. We provide structured training, applied research support, and access to development resources that help innovators move from concept to implementation.
Our work focuses on helping mission driven startups build strong foundations by providing guidance in planning, sustainability, and responsible growth. Through fellowships and research initiatives, we help founders develop the clarity, structure, and knowledge needed to advance their ideas with confidence.

These sectors represent critical global needs and emerging opportunities that shape the future of communities across the world.
