Together we can help save small businesses.
Welcome, team Verizon!
Use your professional expertise to help small businesses
IFEL and Verizon are teaming up to support the small businesses who form the backbone of our economy, our cities, and our culture. This effort will especially serve founders and business owners in resource-scarce communities of color that have been disproportionately affected by historic barriers as well as modern challenges, while providing you the opportunity to give back and apply your volunteer hours to a good cause.
We welcome you to this community of allies!
All work is done remotely by phone and video conferencing.

The Institute for Entrepreneurial Leadership (IFEL), founded in 2002, is an independent, 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that supports economic development through entrepreneurship. We are experts in creating and implementing small business programming in support of larger economic development objectives. Our services and programs help ambitious “every day” entrepreneurs gain access to the knowledge, networks, and capital necessary to succeed in business.
Small Businesses Need Us is funded in part by a generous grant from the Verizon Foundation.
