What started as a few conversations in rented community spaces blossomed into a community effort with fatherhood talks and classes, reentry programs, and policy advocacy.

Our recent “Breaking the Lending Code” Saturday Academy in Dallas was so impactful! Together with the Cornerstone Center for Economic Excellence, we brought together nearly 30 small business owners and emerging entrepreneurs for a hands‑on session focused on unlocking the capital they need to grow.

Throughout the day, participants gained practical strategies for securing funding, and we celebrated their commitment by raffling prizes and awarding three graduates with $250 grants to open business checking accounts with b1BANK - Be Uncomplicated. Attendees also had the chance to apply for b1BANK’s Special Purpose Credit Loan Program—another step toward breaking down barriers to opportunity.

These academies aren’t just classes—they’re changing what people believe is possible for themselves and their businesses. And we’re proud to stand at the center of this momentum for our small business community. Be sure to catch the next one!
