About the company

Ventures, doing business as Washington Community Alliance For Self-Help, is a Seattle-based nonprofit organization and community development corporation registered with the federal government since 2006. The organization specializes in providing comprehensive support to entrepreneurs and small business owners, particularly those in economically disadvantaged areas who face barriers to accessing traditional credit and capital. Through its federal grant awards, Ventures delivers microenterprise development services, technical assistance, training, and financial access programs designed to foster entrepreneurship and economic self-sufficiency in underserved communities.

Ventures has established a robust track record of federal grant funding from multiple agencies, including the Small Business Administration's Office of Capital Access, the Minority Business Development Agency, the Department of the Treasury's Community Development Financial Institutions Fund, and the SBA's Office of the Chief Operating Officer. The organization has received prime grants under several key programs: the Program for Investment in Microentrepreneurs (PRIME) Act, which funds training and capacity building for disadvantaged entrepreneurs; the SBA Microloan Program, which provides direct loans and grants to enable the provision of micro-level loans up to $50,000 for startup and growing small businesses; the MBDA Capital Readiness Program, designed to close the entrepreneurship gap for socially and economically disadvantaged individuals through incubator and accelerator services; the Small Dollar Loan Program under the CDFI Fund, which supports loan loss reserves and technical assistance to serve unbanked and underbanked populations; and Congressional Community Project Funding. Ventures' service offerings include business training, one-on-one coaching, financial literacy education, technical assistance, management capacity building, and access to affordable capital. The organization has also received funding through a sub-award from the City of Seattle's Office of Economic Development to provide business assistance, counseling, entrepreneurial training, and technical support. All of these grant awards, spanning from 2021 through 2026, demonstrate Ventures' sustained federal partnership in advancing microenterprise development and small business growth in the Seattle area and Washington state.
