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

Microentrepreneurship is a powerful tool to build both individual and community prosperity, but personal, professional, systemic, political, and economic barriers prevent many from accessing the benefits of ownership. These barriers result in an inequitable opportunity for economic inclusion and community autonomy as well as a poorly diversified economy. RMMFI supports resilient entrepreneurs who are ready for business ownership and want to achieve financial independence, build generational wealth, grow their dreams into reality, and define their own pathways to success.
