Center for Women & Enterprise

Founded in 1995, the Center for Women & Enterprise (CWE) is a regional entrepreneurial training organization in Boston, Worcester and Providence, Rhode Island. CWE has served over 23,000 entrepreneurs, both women and men, and offers education, training, technical assistance, women's business enterprise certification, and access to both debt and equity capital at every stage of business development. The Center's clients are drawn from a wide variety of racial, ethnic and socio-economic backgrounds, spanning the range from women living in public housing who may want to start home-based or small retail businesses to women running fast growth, multi-million dollar technology businesses. As a non-profit, charitable organization, CWE provides scholarships for its services in order to serve all, regardless of their ability to pay.
