Women's Virtual Business Accelerator  

The LaunchHER program’s mission is to enable marginalized and underserved women to build successful businesses through state and federal government contracting. We have a passion for economic advancement, equity and inclusivity for all people. Our focus is to shine a light on the importance of bridging the gap in generational wealth disparities amongst these Historically Underutilized Businesses. 

Through our Snacks and Balances program 

KWF is proud to deliver no-cost healthy and delicious meals this summer to our marginalized and underserved local communities. 

These Summer Food Program sites are located across Wake County to provide a no-cost meal to any child aged 18 and under, from June 15–August 6.  to children who are in attendance. Breakfast, lunch or dinner is available.

KWF is proud to be offering The LaunchTHEM Program to 25 local middle school students this year. By using an innovative approach to learning about finances and entrepreneurship we hope to spark an interest to become not only financially responsible but successful business owners as well. The top 5 students will be chosen to participate in the KWF Business Pitch Challenge. 1 will win a $1,000.00 Scholarship to start their very own Etsy Store. Good Luck!
