Our newly launched Catalyst Fund helps make our mission of propelling women into economic, social, and political spheres of power possible.
When you become a Catalyst Fund Donor, you’ll be part of a dynamic and enterprising group of women recognized for their contributions at events, online, and in printed NAWBO materials. With annual contributions to the fund, we’ll enable positive change for women entrepreneurs through meaningful programming and education.
Please consider becoming a Catalyst Fund Donor today.

NOTE: NAWBO MN is a 501(c)(6) non-profit member association. While sponsoring member gifts are ineligible for a charitable deduction; for business owners/businesses, they are likely deductible as marketing expenses since we will highlight donors regularly in programs and online. Consult your tax professional.
