Mission Bridges

Non Profit Management and Development. There are many promising nonprofits primed to make a huge impact in their community. Most organizations don’t take advantage of their own capacity for growth and innovation. Our nonprofit management and development program is designed to help local nonprofits significantly grow their program or service.

Mission/Bridges goes beyond the small business help a micropreneur would receive from a free business consulting program like SCORE, the local Small Business Development Center, or online classes or resources. Through in-depth training with a seasoned business professional and the development of a network within their class and with other MISSION/BRIDGES alumni, DFW Metroplex clients stand a better chance at launching their endeavor, supplementing their income, and even moving to work full-time on their new business.

Building Bridges is a formalized coaching and mentoring program connecting program graduates and new business owners with entrepreneurs and corporate executives who have achieved success in their business. The coaching and mentoring will allow the entrepreneurs an opportunity to receive ‘entire picture’ thinking and guidance. Mentors and Mentees meet on a monthly basis.

• Cost: $150 in addition to a $25 non-refundable application fee.
