Mission Statement
The WESOS Foundation is on a mission to empower women by providing scholarships, mentoring and professional development opportunities to build economic empowerment through business ownership.
About This Cause
The WESOS Foundation mission is to empower women who have been marginalized by society and economically disadvantaged due to lack of education, divorce, incarceration, housing insecurity, domestic abuse, traumatic event, or series of events. We aspire to have a diverse group of women who reflect all womanhood and will be inclusive of: racial diversity, age diversity, class diversity, and religious diversity. Women have great untapped potential. Studies have shown that advancing women’s equality and participation as entrepreneurs, could ultimately boost the global economy by over $5 trillion. WESOS Foundation intends to provide mentoring, professional development, and scholarship opportunities to the women in its program. WESOS Foundation works closely with the WESOS Network which is made up of 380+ women entrepreneurs from across the country. Networks are critical for small business success and WESOS Foundation is strategically poised to utilize its peer-to-peer network to encourage and support women, plan for growth and embrace innovation. PROGRAMS Mentorship: Women from within the WESOS Network are in a position to provide tools and resources to support new female entrepreneurs through the WESOS Foundation. Mentors will provide support to women in navigating difficult situations, providing operational and logistical advice, feedback on strategy and business plans, etc. Professional Development: Tapping into the WESOS Network, WESOS Foundation will provide panel discussions, seminars, and retreats designed to meet the needs of women business owners. Monthly one-on-ones with the program participants will be provided that focus on a particular facet of establishing and growing their business, such as: developing a business plan, marketing and management, etc. Scholarships: The WESOS Foundation intends to provide its participants with funds to cover start-up costs for their particular business needs.
