ONE WORLD Training & Investments is delighted to work with the East Bay Community Foundation (EBCF) to support the Inclusive Economy Showcase.

Excited to announce our first virtual Inclusive Economy Showcase on April 22nd (save the date!) that will highlight entrepreneurs of color and community-based companies and organizations who are building and shaping an inclusive economy in our region. We are committed to democratizing the flow of capital into our community. The showcase will prioritize the needs and goals of the founders and there will be educational opportunities for all participants. Every applicant will receive feedback, support, and exposure.

If you're a social entrepreneur, impact or angel investor, fund or foundation manager, or are simply curious about how we can move more money to the social impact companies and organizations solving problems that benefit the East Bay and its community, you'll want to register for this event!
