Charting impact
Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.
What is the organization aiming to accomplish?
The James J. Hill Center (the JJHC) is a nonprofit business center providing Twin Cities area entrepreneurs with an array of classes, networking opportunities, and business resources to help them start and sustain profitable small businesses. Opened in 1921, the James J. Hill Center supports the legacy of one of America's greatest entrepreneurs, James Jerome Hill. Today, The JJHC's focus is supporting business, entrepreneurship, and community.
For nearly 100 years we have helped patrons, regardless of means, develop business strategies through 1:1 support tailored to the individual (their business type, goals, experience level, and more). Our unique model provides research, resources, and information to entrepreneurs or potential entrepreneurs to guide them through all stages of their business development. We also provide (vetted) referrals to partnering organizations for financial advice and course work to carry out business strategies.
