Contribute to the Future of Cuban Entrepreneurs
Help empower Cuba’s next generation of innovators. We provide material support, training, and global connections to help Cuban entrepreneurs build resilient, community-centered businesses. While we finalize the necessary approvals to receive contributions, you can join our Founding Supporter List to be the first notified when participation opens.
Your donation helps unlock the potential of Cuba’s growing private sector — providing entrepreneurs with the resources, mentorship, and global access they need to create jobs, build sustainable businesses, and uplift their communities.
We believe in direct impact and full transparency. Your donation supports local entrepreneurs through:
Direct material support for selected projects and small businesses.
Ongoing mentorship and training to ensure sustainable growth.
Regular progress updates so you can see the results of your support.
How Your Support Helps Cuban Entrepreneurs
Your future contribution will directly strengthen the Cuban private sector, supporting entrepreneurs who are creating jobs, driving social impact, and strengthening their local communities. Once we are fully authorized to accept material contributions, your support will help provide:
Material support for early-stage Cuban businesses
Training and technical assistance tailored to the Cuban context
Mentorship and international business connections
Market access support to help Cuban entrepreneurs scale
Personal and professional development opportunities that build long-term resilience
Our mission is to make it easier for Cuban small business owners to thrive despite decades of systemic barriers.
