NFIB

The NFIB Young Entrepreneur Foundation, a 501(c)3 organization, is NFIB's education arm. By promoting the lessons of free enterprise in the classroom, the Young Entrepreneur Foundation hopes to build the next generation of small-business owners and entrepreneurs.

The mission of the NFIB Young Entrepreneur Foundation is to educate young people about the critical role of small business and the American free-enterprise system and to help students interested in small business and entrepreneurship further their education.

To accomplish its mission, the Young Entrepreneur Foundation depends on charitable contributions from NFIB members and others interested in strengthening our country's commitment to teaching the values of free enterprise and entrepreneurship.

The primary goals of the NFIB Young Entrepreneur Foundation are:

To encourage young people to consider careers in small business and entrepreneurship and to help further the education of these students.

To recognize teachers and other mentors for their efforts in helping students experience the benefits of entrepreneurship.

To share the varied entrepreneurship experiences of national NFIB members and entrepreneurs with students in the classroom.

To partner with like-minded organizations to enhance entrepreneurial education activities and opportunities for youth.
