A Commitment To Chicago's Underfunded Neighborhoods

SBAC Empower was founded in 2016 as a 501(c)(3) Not-For-Profit business and community education organization. Based in Chicago, we extend our assistance to all neighbourhoods in the Chicago area. We focus more on the areas with less resources, funding, and attention. The communities we have helped include: Greater Englewood, North Lawndale, South Shore, Cook County Jail, Logan Square, Greater Roseland, Woodlawn, and more.

To assist in the development of these communities and their businesses, we run a mentorship program. The Mentorship Program assigns a Mentor - an individual with experience in small business growth, assistance, and advocacy - to a Mentee - the small business owner. Mentors will assist Mentees with any questions, ideas, or concerns that they may have pertaining to their business.
