About Us

Amplifying businesses.

Elevating communities.

Urban Enterprise, Inc. is a nonprofit community empowerment organization dedicated to advancing economic mobility and inclusive prosperity in underserved communities. We believe entrepreneurship is a powerful pathway to economic freedom—and that when underserved leaders are equipped with resources, education, and visibility, entire communities rise.

Our mission is to empower underserved populations through entrepreneurship, education, and economic opportunity—developing leaders who launch businesses, create jobs, and build stronger communities.

We provide entrepreneur development, nonprofit leadership training, business education, and capacity-building support tailored specifically to diverse entrepreneurs and community-based organizations.

Amplifying Voices

One of the most unique elements of Urban Enterprise is the way we integrate our media properties—Urban Business Journal, Urban Leadership News, and Urban Excellence Magazine—to highlight, promote, and resource the very entrepreneurs and community-based businesses we serve.

Through feature stories, interviews, awards programs, visibility campaigns, thought leadership platforms, and community-focused media events, we shine a light on rising leaders who rarely get the spotlight. By elevating their voices, their impact, and their businesses, we accelerate their growth and expand access to opportunities, partnerships, and economic pathways.

This integrated model—training + support + exposure—creates a powerful ecosystem where business owners don’t just learn, they get seen. Where leaders don’t just grow, they get recognized. And where communities don’t just survive, they thrive.

We believe:

• Talent exists everywhere.
• Opportunity should too.
• Entrepreneurship builds economic mobility.
• Visibility drives access, credibility, and growth.

Urban Enterprise partners with philanthropic institutions, foundations, corporations, and community agencies to expand opportunity and strengthen the economic future of underserved communities—one leader at a time.
