The philanthrophic dollars allowed them to reach full capacity with operations, finance and administation. This has allowed them to dedicate time to finding investors for the fund. Additionally, the funds allowed support of (1) the first and only place-based equity venture fund for business owners and entrepreneurs of color; (2) the Latino Leadership Institute entrepreneur accelerator for Latinx businesses and entrepreneurial hub, and (3) DivInc, a BIPOC-focused entrepreneur accelerator for tech industries. 97183 579000 AYA Foundation served approximately 70 entrepreneurs in 2022. Approximately 95% of the entrepreneurs served are of the African diaspora, the remaining 5% are entrepreneurs of color. AYA offers the following supports: (1) JumpStart My Biz (a business fundamental boot camp for aspiring or start-up entrepreneurs), (2) Nav to Connect One-on-One Business Coaching, (3) Professional Services and Technical Assistance for entrepreneurs, (4) Vision Board Party (a community gathering to envision our future), and (5) Friends and Family start-up grants to entrepreneurs. AYA provides skill-building, technical assistance, friends and family capital, and mindset readiness to Black entrepreneurs at the beginning of their journey. These supports decrease the burnout and discouragement that Black entrepreneurs feel and face due to discrimination and inequities in the market. When Black entrepreneurs have the confidence, the knowledge, networks, and confidence to build their wealth through business ownership, society benefits because our economy becomes more diverse. Diversity in economies provides consumers with choices; produces new products and services. 49277 30200 AYA served as fiscal sponsor for Black Business Initiative. The Black Business Initiative continues to serve Denver Black-owned businesses and entrepreneurs with its two flagship events aimed at education and networking: Black Capital and The Black Boss Summit. Both events took place in Denver last year. Combined, they attracted more than 200 participants on-line and at in-person events. 1573234 true true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 5 0 true 0 false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false X 8 8 false false false false false false false true true false false true false true true false false false X BENILDA SAMUELS 3036680636 2561 N XENIA STREET Denver CO 80238 Benny Samuels Executive Dir. 0.50 0.00 X 72195 0 0 JAVON BRAME Director 0.50 0.00 X 0 0 0 DENISE BURGESS Director 0.50 0.00 X 0 0 0 RICHARD LEWIS Director 0.50 0.00 X 0 0 0 WIL ALSTON Director 0.50 0.00 X 0 0 0 ANNITA MENOGAN Director 0.50 0.00 X 0 0 0 CHRIS DAEHNICK Secretary 0.50 0.00 X X 0 0 0 HANIFAH CHIKU Treasurer 0.50 0.00 X X 0 0 0 JICE JOHNSON Chairman 0.50 0.00 X 0 0 0 72195 0 false false false 0 1758471 1758471 Coaching 1500 1500 Fiscal Sponsor 121229 121229 122729 2127 2127 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1883327 124856 X 248970 248970 0 0 0 72196 36098 36098 0 0 0 0 0 75184 75184 39417 39076 341 2070 2070 0 1035 1035 0 616794 616794 66447 65650 797 38342 33546 4305 491 89 89 0 7700 3600 4100 25095 25070 25 0 23766 23766 244 244 0 0 6271 2498 3773 Affiliate Fees 250000 250000 Other NCTF Program Expenses 110430 110430 Other BBI Program Expenses 47454 47454 Sponsorship Fees 20000 20000 10863 10863 1662367 1573234 51509 37624 799548 658908 0 0 250000 0 0 105000 0 5775 0 0 0 0 0 825 799548 1020508 0 0 X 799548 1020508 799548 1020508 799548 1020508 220960 X false false false X 930250 1508471 2438721 0 0 930250 1508471 2438721 0 2438721 2127 2127 0 0 2440848 X 0.00000 RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED false Access Mode Inc 2400 Monaco Parkway Denver CO 80207 883454913 501(c)(3) 204000 0 Support BIPOC startups CO Nonprofit Development Ctr 2590 Welton St Denver CO 80205 841493585 501(c)(3) 44970 0 Support Access Mode Inc. 2 0 Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11b Board is provided the draft return to review before filing.
