FROM THE LEADERSHIP

Dear Friends and Supporters:

Thank you for contributing to the strong results we achieved for WomenVenture clients this year. For every dollar you invested, our client business owners returned $10 back to their community. With your help, we provided women in the Twin Cities with the tools and resources to start or expand 259 small business; those businesses produced 489 new jobs and retained 455. We are excited to report that our women business owners are paying themselves and their employees a living wage, averaging $23 per hour.

In order to provide our clients with the most impactful services, we embarked on a strategic planning process this year. We looked locally, nationally and internationally, to understand the best practices in women’s economic development. We used this data, in addition to the feedback from over 60 community partners, donors and advisors, to craft a three-year plan to address the unique challenges faced by women entrepreneurs in our service area.

Through the planning process we were able to succinctly define our mission to “help women attain economic self-sufficiency through the creation and growth of profitable and sustainable businesses.” We have also articulated our goals via our vision statement: “by 2020, 60% of clients who complete WomenVenture’s Pathways to Entrepreneurship program will be in business five years after launch and will pay themselves a living wage.”

A revised scholarship program was introduced in February this year with impactful results. When comparing scholarships from February through June 2014 to the same period last year, we were able to offer significant tuition support to an additional 111 women—an increase of 264%. This drove classroom training numbers, increasing attendance by 60% over last year.

It is only through the financial support of our donors and partners, and the contributions of a dedicated team of volunteers, that we are able to serve the needs of our clients and the community. Thank you again for your ongoing support!

OUR IMPACTClient Spotlight: Allison Bross-White

Allison Bross-White started crafting her business plan in high school. She envisioned making a living by combining the things she was most passionate about—social responsibility, clothing and hip hop. After receiving degrees in fashion design, merchandise marketing and business administration management, Allison was ready to launch her unique business concept: a “buy outright” clothing store featuring gently used designer items, street gear and locally-sourced products with a focus on urban trends. Her college debt prohibited her from getting a bank loan, but thanks to funding from WomenVenture, Allison’s dream business—B. Resale—became a reality.

A year later, Allison was ready for expansion and received additional funding from WomenVenture that allowed her to move to an ideal storefront location in South Minneapolis. A new mom who makes space for her son at the shop, Allison remains dedicated to keeping wearable garments out of landfills, and her business continues to thrive.

For more than three decades, WomenVenture has provided entrepreneurs like Allison—women of all ages, cultures, races and income levels—with the tools and resources to achieve economic success through small business ownership. Since 1982, we have operated as the only provider of both funds and education in the Twin Cities that caters its services to the needs of entrepreneurial women. Though the agency serves the entire community, WomenVenture is focused on serving and empowering low to moderate income women.*

WomenVenture gratefully acknowledges the many contributions of four members of its board of directors who completed board terms this year:

Natasha chaired the Marketing and Fall Event committees in addition to supporting many agency initiatives.

DONORS

Major Donor Spotlight: Susan Kinder

Susan Kinder has been involved with WomenVenture for more than two decades. She has served on the board of directors three separate times for a total of 12 years, and was appointed as WomenVenture’s board chair in June 2014.

Since graduating from the University of Minnesota in 1970, Susan has held increasingly more responsible positions in insurance, banking and financial services organizations. She ended her for-profit career in the president role at the American Express Travelers Cheques Group. Though she began her career when positions in industries were limited for women, Susan credits wonderful supporters along the way—managers, colleagues, subordinates and coworkers—who guided, directed and mentored her.

Susan values her long association with WomenVenture as a tangible way she can continue the legacy of helping other women succeed in the business world. She believes WomenVenture’s specialized training programs are critical in guiding future entrepreneurs with solid ideas, helping them to fine tune their business plans, and providing them with the many areas of expertise needed to run a business. Susan knows that by providing access to loans, many women who may otherwise be turned down for funding are able to launch their dreams. She is energized by the results: successful businesses that hire employees with an average per hour wage of $23, women who are economically self-sufficient, and women-owned businesses that are helping Minnesota’s economy grow.

Susan believes her contributions of both time and money are a wonderful way to give back and invest in the collective future of women. WomenVenture and the clients served by the organization benefit greatly from her dedication and ongoing support.
