About the company
Neighborhood Self-Employment Initiative, Inc., a tax-exempt, minority-owned and Black American-owned non-profit organization based in Indianapolis, Indiana, operates the Business Ownership Initiative of Indiana division and serves as an SBA-approved microloan intermediary lender. Since its registration in the System for Award Management (SAM.gov) in February 2009, the organization has established itself as a critical resource for underserved entrepreneurs seeking access to capital and business development support. Through its federal grant awards, NSEI provides microloans and comprehensive technical assistance to start-up, newly established, and growing small businesses, with a particular focus on supporting women entrepreneurs, minorities, low-income individuals, and other disadvantaged business owners in underserved communities throughout Indianapolis and surrounding areas.
NSEI's federal grant funding history demonstrates consistent support from the U.S. Small Business Administration, with prime awards totaling over $1.4 million since 2021 across two primary SBA offices: the Office of Capital Access and the Office of Entrepreneurial Development. The organization has received multiple project grants and formula grants under the SBA Microloan Program (CFDA 59.046), with individual awards ranging from $129,629 to $326,931, designed to enable the provision of microloans up to $50,000 for working capital, inventory, supplies, equipment, machinery, and fixtures to qualifying small business concerns. Additionally, NSEI has received project grants under the Women's Business Ownership Assistance Program (CFDA 59.043) and cooperative agreements, with awards of $150,000 to $300,000, specifically targeting the removal of discriminatory barriers and delivery of training, counseling, and capacity-building services to women-owned businesses and minority entrepreneurs. Beyond direct lending, NSEI's grant-funded services include marketing assistance, management consulting, technical assistance, business training, and counseling to help prospective borrowers and microloan recipients overcome barriers to accessing traditional credit and foster sustainable economic growth in underserved Indianapolis communities. The organization maintains no identified sub-contractors or prime partners in its federal award history, operating independently as the direct recipient and implementer of all SBA grant funding.
