SOCIETY OF
COMMUNITY LEADERS COMING TOGETHER TO HELP CREATE JOBS
Yes, we are committed to supporting RGV-WBC and to making an impact in our region.
The Economic Impact of our Contribution - We will be helping to create jobs by helping women and men start and grow successful businesses, which improves the local economy. - We will be helping to bring new Federal dollars into the Valley over 5 years by providing matching dollars. - We will be supporting outreach programs for small businesses who require customized and quality assistance.
The Social Impact of our Contribution - By supporting the WBC, we will be reaching those sectors of the population currently underserved by other programs. We understand that WBC collaborates with many organizations to make the best possible resources available to entrepreneurs. - We will be helping individuals who are socially and economically disadvantaged to become selfsufficient through entrepreneurship to break the cycle of poverty.
Society of 75 The RGV Women’s Business Center has launched a new Fundraising Program – The Society of 75 RGV- WBC receives a Small Business Administration (SBA) grant, becoming one of 110 Women’s Business Centers around the country funded by the SBA. Since these federal grants require matching funds, RGV-WBC launched a fundraiser to ask local businesses and individuals to make contributions for matching purposes. The “Society of 75” is designed to ask 75 businesses and/or individuals to donate $1,000 per year for 5 years. If you or your business or organization would be interested in partnering with the RGV-WBC as members of “The Society,” please call us or visit us at: www.wbc-rgv.org
The Marketing Impact of our Contribution - We will be given the opportunity to be the presenting sponsor at a WBC workshop and to provide a subject matter expert to lead the workshop in order to showcase our firm’s expertise in a specific small business arena. - We will receive recognition at events and in printed materials, and our marketing materials will be made available at WBC events, if we so desire. - We will be invited to the Annual Stakeholder’s Meeting to get an update on how we have made an impact. - We will be profiled in a WBC press release concerning job creation, economic development and how our organization is investing in the growth of our community. Releases are distributed to thousands of stakeholders including clients, board members, sponsors, mentors, investors, elected officials, local and regional media, etc. Our company name and a link to our website, if applicable, will be included on the WBC website. We will be given the opportunity to introduce our company at a WBC event.
