Partnership with the Columbus Urban League

On February 22, 2012, INCREASE CDC effectively partnered with the Columbus Urban League (CUL) to deliver a business program to CUL clients.

Curtland Caffey, Associate Director of INCREASE CDC, says "This [partnership] is value-added for both organizations. We are a community development company that is very passionate about helping entrepreneurs start and sustain businesses.  The Columbus Urban League has a customer base, which very well may be open to our message of  entrepreneurship."

Kesha Garrett, of the CUL, says "It's a good fit for us. We have the clients, and they [INCREASE CDC] have a message we want our clients to hear.

INCREASE CDC has delivered two information sessions in February and March with immediate plans to deliver more.   Aspiring entrepreneurs who are not clients of CUL can attend a How to Start a Business information session at local libraries.
