The White House Faith Office
The White House Faith Office was established during the second presidency of Donald Trump as a White House agency to assist faith-based entities, community organizations, and houses of worship in their efforts to strengthen American families, promote work and self-sufficiency, and protect religious liberty.
The federal government’s goal is to award at least 5% of all federal contracting dollars to women-owned small businesses each year.
Money Smart for Small Business
Money Smart for Small Business provides a practical introduction to topics related to starting and managing a business. Developed jointly by SBA and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), this instructor-led curriculum consists of 13 modules. SBA and FDIC invite eligible organizations to begin teaching this free curriculum right away!
Money Smart modules cover a wide range of interests and knowledge level of the targeted audience. Each module is available in English and Spanish and has three components including a text-accessible instructor guide, participant guide, and PowerPoint slides. The materials are designed to teach each module in approximately 60-90 minutes. Modules can be taught in any order or independently.
The HUBZone program fuels small business growth in historically underutilized business zones with a goal of awarding at least 3% of federal contract dollars to HUBZone-certified companies each year.
The information is laid out simply in three modules.
The three modules focus on:
- Basics of business startup
- Essentials of becoming credit-ready
- How and where to find additional small business support and educational resources
Each module has approximately 60‐90 minutes of presentation material. The modules can be presented in a one-day [or multiple day] workshop(s), depending on what is best suited for the individual community. The toolkit and accompanying instructor guide are written at a level so that a community volunteer can feel comfortable presenting the information.
