Beating the Odds

According to the U.S. Small Business Administration 20% of new businesses fail in their first year and nearly 50% close within five years?

For women and minority entrepreneurs, the odds can feel even steeper due to barriers like limited funding, training, and resources. That’s where MWF steps in — helping small business owners turn challenges into opportunities with the support they need to succeed.

With your help, we can empower more entrepreneurs to beat the odds and create thriving businesses in 2026.
