“You don’t build a business. You build people, and people build the business.”

-Zig Ziglar

To those who may not know me ....Hello!

I’m Felisha - a social entrepreneur, connector, small biz advocate, love-of-all-things community focused and founder of CO.OLOGY - a small biz support hub that provides workspace & resources for local entrepreneurs.

"Our Campaign "WHY"

Our mission from the beginning has always been to create a gathering space where ideas could be explored, spark engagement and cultivate community..all under one roof.

But, like so many small businesses across the country facing day-to-day challenges due to economic downturns...

CO.OLOGY has been hit with several financial hurdles that have stretched our organization to its capacity due to circumstances beyond our control.

Over the last 60 days, we've rolled up our sleeves, dug in deeper and worked our butts off to meet deadlines in order to get back on track..

But even with the best laid plans and exhausting all available resources within our deadline...

I realized that if I had any chance of making it through this to keep our doors open, I would need the support and power of my community.

.......

"My Ask'

Leaning in to "ask for help", support and encouragement like I've never needed before, has been one of the most vulnerable things that I've had to do in awhile, but....

We're in need of 60 community donors to make a donation of $50 dollars ( although donations of any amount are appreciated) to help reach our goal.

Campaign extends through July 15, 2023

Funding Goal: $3000

....................

"The Plan Going Forward"

100% of all contributions will be used to meet our campaign goal expense so that:

we are able to meet our financial deadline to be followed up with a strategic-plan through 2023 in order to avoid this in the future
get back to doing what we love most...cultivating community
continue in our work of providing services that cater to the work, creativity and well-being of entrepreneurs in the community.

..........

I Couldn't Do Any of This Without You!

When I started CO.OLOGY, I began with a mission to create a space that would be entrepreneurial, community-focused and a resource for the small-business community.

Over the last 7 years, I'd like to think that we've done that.

I am forever grateful to be able to use over 17+ yrs. of experience on projects around the city like Tedx, the Detroit Public library, Detroit Public Schools, various school boards, councils and independent projects and community programming and pour that back into CO.OLOGY.

With your help and support, I look forward to many more years of serving.

.......

I personally invite you to check out our social media stories to follow our campaign journey and see your contributions at work.

With gratitude....Thank You!

Felisha Hatcher @CO.OLOGY
