ESTABLISHED: 2014
MISSION: MORTAR’s mission is to ensure that all entrepreneurs are equipped to build businesses, contribute to community ownership, and create intergenerational transfers of wealth that leave legacies for generations to come.
SERVING OUR COMMUNITY: MORTAR provides historically marginalized entrepreneurs with the training, resources, and networks they need to start and scale their businesses; using their inherent talents to not only make a dollar but to create stronger families, communities, and a more vibrant region.
MORTAR has successfully graduated over 400 entrepreneurs in 36 cohorts from our Entrepreneurship Academy, put $950k directly into the hands of our Alumni nationally through our Iron Chest Fund, while building capacity and advocating for small business owners in every room we enter.
As we continue to create access for underestimated entrepreneurs, our next goal is to bring an entrepreneurial one-stop-shop to Walnut Hills that will include a coworking space, pop-up shop, café, and multimedia center to assist entrepreneurs in growing their enterprises.
