About the PWNC Foundation
Founded in October 2019, PWNC Foundation, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt nonprofit organization dedicated to empowering women in underserved communities. We provide the education, support, and resources women need to transition from traditional corporate roles into confident, capable full-time entrepreneurs.
Our mission is rooted in transformation and economic empowerment. We help women take the essential steps to start, build, and successfully operate their own businesses—equipping them with the tools to create long-term impact not only for themselves, but for their families and the communities they serve.
Through our signature programs, workshops, and community partnerships, we guide women on their entrepreneurial journey with mentorship, training, and strategic support. Our ultimate goal is to help women build businesses that revitalize local neighborhoods by creating services, opportunities, and employment.
To learn more about how we support women transitioning into entrepreneurship, visit our Transition Program on our Foundation page.
