...because we're committed to building innovative economic solutions for women 365 days-a-year

The Women’s Economic Institute (The WEI) is committed to elevating the quality of life for all women and girls. Irrespective of race, religion, color, creed or orientation we know that when women and girls have a fair shot, a healthy self-esteem, and an opportunity to thrive they become stronger women, better leaders, and more successful entrepreneurs. That's why we established the Young Women’s Mentoring Initiative and the BIPOC Women's Small Business Incubator. — We're committed to working with BIPOC (Black and Indigenous People of Color) women and girls from all walks of life to drive lifelong academic achievement and economic opportunity 365 days-a-year.  

Positioning women for success!

The WEI joins Goldman Sachs’ 10KSB and 1Million Black Women

 The Women's Economic Institute (The WEI) is an economic development organization focused on improving generational wealth, economic sustainability and income security outcomes for women entrepreneurs, girls, and communities of color through policy, technical assistance, academic/workforce readiness programming, small business growth, and affordable housing development.


We’re excited to be invited to the Goldman Sachs 10,000 Small Businesses and the inaugural cohort of One Million Black Women, Black in Business.  We said Yes!


Throughout the nation women of color earn between forty-three to sixty-seven cents for every dollar earned by their white, non-Hispanic, male counterparts.  In addition to wage differentials and inequities, there's little to no access to mid-level management opportunities, lack of access to the C-Suite, and nominal capital for BIPOC women entrepreneurs and developers.  There’s also a national demand for quality affordable housing and technology.  The WEI is committed to changing the economic trajectory for communities of color one woman at a time.  We welcome you to join us... 

Apply Today

At the WEI we offer a young women's mentoring initiative, a small business incubator/accelerator, and targeted technical support services designed to help women professionals and entrepreneurs of color gain the necessary training, tools, and networking opportunities to close the wealth/gender/income gap.  To learn more about our small business goals, the Entrepreneur's Roundtable, or the Young Women's Mentoring initiative click the link below.
