EXHIBIT A "The Program" PilotSPARK Women's Business Accelerator Neighborhood The Women's Entrepreneurship Initiative (WEI) at Saint Mary's College seeks partnership with the City of South Bend's Engagement and Economic Empowerment Team to support economic inclusion for small business owners residing and doing business in historically divested neighborhoods. This collaboration will increase access to economic opportunities for women entrepreneurs, with a particular focus on support for African American and Latina populations. Women's Entrepreneurship Initiative at Saint Mary's College WEI's mission is to economically empower women through business ownership and career advancement. We do this by offering year-round programming (SPARK women's business accelerator, SPARK Mastermind, Thrive professional development series, and Engaging Women Conference) and services (business mentorship, referrals to lenders and to other technical assistance resources) as well as through education and advocacy. We are able to offer our programs at nominal fees thanks to generous underwriting by our corporate partners. WEI helps women assess the viability of their business ideas, launch and grow successful businesses, and transition out of business if it is not profitable, breaking even, or meeting the goals and needs of the business owner. Poverty reduction, wealth creation, and increased earning power for women, especially women of color, are the foundation of all that we do. Our community, neighborhoods, and families are stronger and more resilient when women are able to maintain financial self-sufficiency, prosper, and build generational wealth. Equitable Support for Women Entrepreneurs Entrepreneurship has the potential to drive innovation and economic growth, but equitable support is required to unlock that potential. WEI builds the entrepreneurial capacity of under-resourced, high - potential women, helping them overcome economic and social barriers and develop their ideas into viable, profitable businesses so that they can achieve self-sufficiency in the mainstream economy for themselves and eventually create jobs for others. By targeting low-income women and focusing on the needs of traditionally under -served groups, including minorities and immigrants, WEI brings new resources into local communities in a unique model. APPENDIX III NON -COLLUSION AFFIDAVIT APPENDIX II TAX EXEMPTION LETTER APPENDIX I ORGANIZATION'S CERTIFICATE OF EXISTENCE Exhibit B "Budget" WEI's SPARK Women's Business Accelerator provides a successful model of technical assistance and mentorship for women entrepreneurs. By partnering with the City of South Bend to deliver SPARK in a small, targeted area, WEI can support economic empowerment of women, especially women of color, and create a replicable model for economic inclusion, small business development, and neighborhood revitalization. We intend our pilot to run for a minimum of five years to develop a steady pipeline of small businesses and a robust entrepreneurial ecosystem. Salaries, Payroll Taxes & Benefits $ 4,420 Professional, Consultant Fees & Legal $ 12,000 Occupancy $ 6,600 Travel & Transportation $ 0 Staff Development $ 1500 Supplies $ 500 Equipment $ 1000 Outreach $ 500 $26,520 WEI will track the number of women who graduate from the program; the number who develop a business plan in conjunction with a mentor (a copy of all participant business plans will be kept on file); and the number of new businesses launched by the three cohorts before June 1, 2020 (through the Indiana Secretary of State's Business Services Division's online database). Existing business growth will be tracked by new contracts, new hires, and increased revenue evidenced by surveys. WEI will track the number of small -development related projects/businesses through post -graduation surveys. All participants will be surveyed to measure business skills gained or improved, new business connections made, and increased confidence as a businesswoman. • SCORE executive mentors help clients determine whether a business idea is viable and offer suggestions to strengthen business plans, which could help clients attain bank loans. • WEI offers female entrepreneurs personal education, business training, and ongoing professional mentoring. While not an official member of TEAM, WEI also regularly partners with and refers clients to the newly established Westside Small Business Resource Center by sharing their program offerings and by holding some of the SPARK business accelerator classes at their location. Other partners include the City of South Bend's Department of Community Investment and the City Clerk's Office, Notre Dame's IDEA Center, INVANTI, Women Business Owners of Michiana (WBOM), and 101 Co3, a co -working space in Mishawaka with a robust entrepreneurial ecosystem for women. In addition, over 60 community business leaders, including CPAs, bankers, CDFI program officers, experienced small business owners, financial advisors, insurance agents, and attorneys, are involved in WEI's flagship SPARK program. These individuals act as subject area experts for the SPARK sessions mentors who offer guidance to participants on their individual challenges and advocates who open doors and increase participants' social capital. Specific to the neighborhood pilot program, Thrive Michiana has offered residential and office space to SPARK program facilitators at a substantially reduced rate to establish their presence in the neighborhood. The Near Northwest Neighborhood Corporation has also offered one of their meeting rooms for class use twice weekly for a nominal fee. WEI also refers SPARK graduates to a neighborhood development project lead by Kingdom Life Cathedral (Apostles Mike and Tina Patton) and will continue to strengthen that relationship. WEI s SPARK Women's Business Accelerator Neighborhood Pilot Outcomes We expect 45 women to enroll in SPARK in September 2019 (three cohorts of 15 participants - one in the Near Northwest Neighborhood, one at the Latin American Chamber of Commerce, and one on the campus of Saint Mary's College.) We expect 40 women will complete the program and 20 will launch or grow a business. We will achieve these results by helping SPARK participants develop a sound, detailed business plan, in consultation with program staff and mentors; offer graduates a support network in the form of ongoing mentoring by successful professionals and business owners; and, if needed, help graduates secure a small business loan from a local bank that will allow them to launch their business. eventually spin off into their own construction -related business. Our vision for the SPARK pilot in the Near Northwest Neighborhood is to accelerate a flywheel of small-scale development and small business growth by women, minority, and low to moderate -income entrepreneurs. After running three consecutive cohorts we anticipate the creation of a low -barrier business incubator in or near the former Ward Baking Company Building on Portage Ave. Small- business owners will be able to grow incrementally (or fail safely) in the incubator and over 3-5 years establish a pathway from the incubator into owner -occupied commercial or mixed -use space. Our efforts will dramatically amplify city efforts to promote and facilitate economic inclusion so that more South Bend residents can benefit from city revitalization. WEI's SPARK Women's Business Accelerator Pilot WEI is uniquely positioned to amplify neighborhood revitalization efforts by piloting a SPARK - inspired program embedded in the Near Northwest Neighborhood and potentially one on the westside of South Bend at the Latin American Chamber of Commerce. WEI will offer its traditional SPARK program with some new enhancements specifically designed to support neighborhood revitalization. Because of the SPARK Women's Business Accelerator's commitment to serving under-resourced women, a significant number of our African -American graduates live in divested neighborhoods and can be engaged specifically to utilize their business acumen for targeted neighborhood revitalization. The 2019 pilot would include: 1) Surveying targeted areas in the Near Northwest Neighborhood to identify current and aspiring business owners who would benefit from technical assistance and mentorship. 2) Running the 11-week accelerator in the Near Northwest Neighborhood. 3) Facilitating referrals and peer -support for small-scale development. 4) Study of best practices to develop a replicable model for use in other South Bend neighborhoods and cities throughout the Midwest. The steady success of WEI programming over the last nine years has brought increased community exposure and dramatically expanded our community and corporate partnerships. The Entrepreneurship Alliance of Michiana (TEAM) is a partnership of WEI, the North Central Indiana Small Business Development Center (ISBDC), and SCORE. All three programs have similar missions, helping small business owners and aspiring entrepreneurs in complementary ways: a ISBDC, which has a local office on the IU-South Bend campus, offers expert one-on-one advising and a robust network of resources.

Within the immigrant community, Spanish speaking women entrepreneurs are seeking business mentorship, but there are limited resources accessible to them. To meet the unique needs of Latina entrepreneurs, SPARK trained an additional facilitator during the 2018 program to ensure bilingual leadership in the 2019 accelerator and have strengthened partnerships with the Latin American Chamber of Commerce and La Casa de Amistad. Neighborhood Revitalization and Economic Inclusion WEI seeks to support neighborhood redevelopment in historically divested neighborhoods. Neighborhoods that were disproportionately affected by Mayor Pete's "1,000 Homes in 1,000 Days" campaign have begun discussions on how to improve their communities through development. Neighborhood planning sessions are generating inspired visions for in -fill of vacant lots and restoration of small commercial nodes. The city's partnership with Opticos Design and the Incremental Development Alliance has produced new toolkits to facilitate small-scale development. However, the most active participants in these training sessions have been well-resourced (educated with access to capital) white males. Legacy residents, especially female -headed households, have yet to fully embrace the opportunities for wealth -creation through small-scale development. Incremental development intersects with entrepreneurship in a number of important ways. 1) Owning income -producing property can increase resilience, financial self-sufficiency, and generational wealth for low to moderate -income families. 2) Small business incubators and accelerators embedded in neighborhoods can help home -based and neighborhood businesses grow through increased visibility, technical support, business mentorship and access to social and financial capital. 3) Incubators and accelerators create a pipeline for small business expansion into owner -occupied commercial or mixed - use properties as neighborhood commercial nodes are restored or expanded. 4) Small neighborhood development projects provide opportunities for unskilled labor (or those with barriers to employment) to skill -up and According to a 2018 report from American Express, 40% of businesses in the United States are now women -owned and women of color are the fastest growing group of business owners (The 2018 State of Women Owned Businesses Report, American Express, 2018.) However, women entrepreneurs have less access to training, mentorship, and capital three key factors to successfully launch and grow than similarly situated men. ("The Megaphone of Main Street: Women's Entrepreneurship" SCORE, 2018.) To give women entrepreneurs the best chance at success, WEI's addresses all three of these factors by: 1) Providing intensive training and mentoring through the SPARK program to give participants and graduates, as well as other local women entrepreneurs, business skills and access to additional expertise that allows them to avoid common pitfalls and be competitive in the open market. 2) Providing ongoing mentorship through our mentor network which includes over 60 subject area experts and business owners. 3) Partnering with area banks and CDFIs to provide small business loans to qualified graduates of our flagship SPARK program who have a completed business plan, ensuring they have sufficient start- up capital. Since its inception in 2011, SPARK has graduated 214 women and helped launch 90 small businesses. SPARK is one of the only technical assistance programs available in the greater South Bend region and attracts women from five counties (within an hour radius.) There are currently 52 prospects on a waiting list for the 2019 program before any advertisement or recruitment. WEI's client base are women who would like to start a business or who have already started a business, but would like to grow it. Below are some basic demographic data on the 31 women in SPARK's 2018 cohort: EDUCATIONAL ATTAINMENT High school/GED 17% Some college 13% Two year associates degree 13% Four year college de ee Masters or other advanced degree 33% 20% Did not report 3% RACE/ETHNIC ITY Asian 1 % Black Hispanic 36% 9% Native American 1 % White 53% EXHIBIT A "The Program" SPAIMIX Women s Business Accelerator +1 The Women's Entrepreneurship Initiative (WEI) at Saint Mary's College seeks partnership with the City of South Bend's Engagement and Economic Empowerment Team to support economic inclusion for small business owners residing and doing business in historically divested neighborhoods.
