Founding Seed Fund — The Inclusion Institute

The Institute for Inclusive Business, also known as the Inclusion Institute, is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit building prosperity through LGBTQ inclusion. Based in Wichita, Kansas, we provide mentorship, training, networking, and advocacy for entrepreneurs and professionals in communities that too often lack resources. Our goal: raise $30,000 in seed funding to launch programs, staff capacity, and grant readiness in 2025.

Why now?
Inclusive business is the fastest, most durable way to expand opportunity in the heartland. With your support, we can:

• Fund mentorship and training for LGBTQ entrepreneurs.

• Launch the Inclusion Summit and statewide outreach.

• Provide emergency support for small businesses facing discrimination.

• Build a replicable model for inclusive economic growth across Kansas and beyond.

This Founding Seed Fund ensures our startup team can focus on building momentum, securing grants, and scaling programs. Every gift helps — whether $15/month or a $15,000 anchor donation. Together we can transform “inclusion deserts” into thriving hubs of innovation and resilience.
