What is Community Navigator Dallas?

Community Navigator Dallas is a targeted outreach initiative for small businesses in underrepresented communities. CynthiaNevels.com is partnering with seven partner organizations - DEC Network, BCL of Texas, Dallas College, WiNGS, Veteran Women’s Enterprise Center (VWEC), LiftFund, and TruFund.

​

The program received funding to partner with SBA at the center of a hub and spoke network. These hubs then support spoke organizations -- trusted, culturally knowledgeable local groups and individuals -- who will connect to specific sectors of the entrepreneurial community to provide assistance during economic recovery, including:

 

• financial assistance and access to capital

• contracting and procurement

• marketing, operations, business development, and exporting industry-specific training

​

Entrepreneurs and small business owners can connect with us to receive free guidance on where to find resources, capital, tools and training services in your area.
