Project details
What we need
- A report summarizing key information from white papers or research reports (50 total pages maximum)
- Written qualitative analysis and findings related to the Organization's research goals
Additional details
What is the value of having a diverse, vibrant, and unique local economy? At RMMFI, we work with entrepreneurs who are artists, healers, self-taught chefs, and visionaries who start unique businesses designed to meet underserved market segments. Beyond the individual wealth generation potential, what are the community-wide benefits to local entrepreneurship? How do unique businesses that offer products and services not found at mainstream retailers enhance communities? What does research show?
What we have in place
- We have some ideas for exploration/research/literature reviews in this space, and are looking for a volunteer with a research background with a curious mindset to help collect and synthesize reports, literature, and research to help answer these keep questions about local economic vibrancy, uniqueness, and value-add for the community.
How this will help
This project will save us $7,888 , allowing us to direct more funds directly to entrepreneurs as they launch, grow, and adapt their business amidst COVID-19.
Community impact is important to RMMFI. Beyond the individual entrepreneur, we know there are community-wide benefits to local entrepreneurship and vibrant local economies. This project will help us better understand those community-wide impacts. As RMMFI looks to expand to new communities, this background research combined with our internal data will help us Build the Case for Support as we launch in communities across the state.

Our mission
Rocky Mountain MicroFinance Institute creates the space for communities and people of all backgrounds to realize their unique potential through the power of entrepreneurship. We believe that all people deserve the investment to achieve their dreams, and we provide that investment through classroom, coaching, capital, and community.
What we do
RMMFI doesn't just invest in businesses; we invest in people, and we do it with more than dollars. We view entrepreneurship as a system of people, businesses, and community, and our holistic approach brings these elements together to allow individuals to tap into the social and economic benefits of business ownership.
Our goal is to help entrepreneurs grow into business owners who can successfully shift and adapt to changing environments in their businesses and their lives. We know that personal foundations are essential for success, and RMMFI works with entrepreneurs to develop their personal stability, entrepreneurial spark, and business feasibility.
