There are women in our great city of Chicago who have aspirations and dreams to start a business or a nonprofit. We take a look at those dreams, conduct a Business Concept Analysis, to verify viability. We put them through a rigorous Financial Literacy training. And we verify that they are under a certain income limit.

And then the fun begins! We help them build out their dreams! I can't tell you how rewarding it is to watch someone, such as our current beneficiary, a single mom with 5 children, be able to bring her dreams to fruition! We ensure that they are financially sound, and we don't leave them until we know they are standing on their own!

We don't just "show" them how...we actually implement planning, registering and even certify them for federal contracts. We provide grant searches through paid search databases of foundation, private and government grants.

These women are in the best position to succeed with our guidance and our one-on-one involvement! And the best part is that ALL of our services are FREE for these women.

We hope you find it in your heart to donate. It takes approximately $1,200 per beneficiary to provide everything they need.

On Giving Tuesday, as you consider where to place your giving, remember to follow your true passion. Helping women succeed in their personal passions for business or charitable causes is my true passion. If that is moving for you, join me by contributing to this worthy cause.

November has always been known as the month of giving. Charity is the greatest gift.

The Dates Group Project is officially launching on December 1st. We will be selecting up to 3 potential small business owners who have a dream of entrepreneurship, but maybe not all of the financial resources to get the right guidance.

We are ecstatic to provide 4 programs that are essential to their success. We offer these programs at no cost. Go to our new website to see the eligibility: https://thedatesgroupproject.org/

If you'd like to train, mentor, join our board or donate, please also go to the website. This is a dream for us and we want to, in turn, help fulfill others' dreams!
