This is our moment. Rise with us. 

Bamboo bends without breaking, and it grows strongest as a grove, its roots intertwined beneath the surface. 

The Bamboo Fund, RMMFI’s individual giving campaign, channels that same collective strength into Colorado’s entrepreneurs. A monthly gift fuels the accessible, high-touch support that entrepreneurs across our state need to build businesses that last. 

Membership starts at just $10/month, with a 12-month commitment. Steady giving transforms every gift into lasting change, because every month you give, an entrepreneur gains a partner who believes in them.

Give monthly. Grow Colorado.

Why Join Now?

Bamboo grows tallest in a grove, where stalks rise side by side and hold one another up. The Bamboo Fund brings that strength to Colorado. Your monthly gift places you shoulder to shoulder with the entrepreneurs who build our state’s future, one dream, one business, and one family at a time. The moment calls us to rise together, and that moment is now.

Your monthly gift is more than a donation. It’s a commitment to standing side by side with people who are building the future of Colorado’s economy, one dream, one business, and one family at a time. 

The Bamboo Fund brings together graduates, volunteers, and passionate supporters to strengthen RMMFI’s mission: To make entrepreneurship accessible to everyone. Your monthly donation fuels cohorts, coaching, low-barrier loans, and a community where small businesses can thrive. 

We’re building an ecosystem where anyone with a dream can access the tools, capital, and community support to make it real. With your help, we can keep showing up and growing together. 

Give monthly to keep entrepreneurship accessible to Coloradans.

Giving Activity

Mission

People are unstoppable forces. Life circumstances are real and sometimes overwhelming, but they should not determine what you can do in the present or be in the future. We believe everyone should be free to make choices to activate the possible. RMMFI creates the space for communities and people of all backgrounds to realize their unique potential through the power of entrepreneurship.

Background Statement

Micro entrepreneurship is a powerful tool for building individual and community prosperity, but personal, professional, and economic barriers prevent individuals from accessing the benefits of small business ownership. These barriers also result in a poorly diversified economy, with folks who make less than 80% of the Denver Metro AMI finding themselves with limited opportunities. RMMFI supports resilient entrepreneurs ready for business ownership who want to achieve financial independence, build generational wealth, grow their dreams into reality, and define their pathways to success.
