The Cynthia E. and Clarence C. Nevels Foundation, Inc. 

Nevels_Headshot_1.jpeg

I launched my businesses over 20 years ago after returning to Texas from Silicon Valley following the dotcom bust. I wanted to develop brands and companies that did more to help small to midsize women and minority owned businesses thrive while accessing valuable resources I had the opportunity to use over my 30 year career. 

MISSION

The Cynthia E. Nevels Foundation's mission is to create create positive and measurable impact in the communities we serve and fill the gap of inequality. Our program services focuses on empowering women-owned and minority-owned businesses by providing technical assistance, business support services, access to resources and grants to cover the costs of business applications and tools to level the playing field for businesses most often left out of economic development opportunities due to system challenges in certain underserved communities.

The Cynthia E. and Clarence E. Nevels Foundation offers opportunities for small business owners to network with business leaders and other entrepreneurs seeking to grow and scale their enterprises or obtain free advice to help build stronger businesses and impact economic development in key urban communities and opportunity zones.
