Who we are

It's more than a helping hand. It's three hundred.

​

Gideon 300 is an NLI sponsored business incubator program for aspiring and emerging kingdom-minded businesswomen and solopreneurs. The project stands as a collective of Christian women in business who understand the financial challenges associated with starting and operating a thriving business and who desire to partner with women with a vision to create an additional stream of income by leveraging their skills and making an impact.

​

We exist to upskill, seed and source kingdom-minded minority women who have the vision to turn their passions into profit.

What we Do

HOW IT WORKS

 

NLI has aligned with stellar partners looking to advance minority women-owned businesses for Kingdom impact. These partners, known as The Gideon 300, contribute anywhere from $100 per month to upwards of $1000 per quarter and lend their expertise in the training and development of awardees.

​

With their help, we are able to fulfill our mission to provide two women each quarter with start-up/seed capital and over $1500 in resources and training to ensure these women have the skills and knowledge to help jumpstart their vision.

​

Applicants are invited to apply each quarter as long as they have not previously received an award from the program and meet application requirements.

​

Deadline TBD

Do you remember when you first started your business?

 

Do you recall having a dream, the drive and dedication but no dollars or donors willing to support what you envisioned? Hi. I"m Rashida. I remember all too well, and let me tell you, it was tough! I was excited AND ready but needed some help!

​

There are so many women who are right where we were. They see it but they can’t reach it. Maybe they need an LLC, a website, legal counsel, or just some business cards and collateral. Whatever needed, it costs money. Many only need a jumpstart with basic business capital to get moving. Too often as solopreneurs, we are unable to get started foundationally sound because we just don’t have a small stash! Gideon 300 is the end to this age-old problem, offering a crowdfunding approach to help minority female entrepreneurs secure the seed capital they need to get their businesses going.
