On #electionday, we’re so thankful to people who have voted to support youth and young adult #entrepreneurs and to build community in the Charlotte entrepreneurial ecosystem through the _preneur Conference! Just one year ago, a gathering of nonprofit organizations with missions connected to #entrepreneurship were gathered (thank you SHARE Charlotte!) and we imagined what we could do to support each other and better connect in community. With a spirit of collaboration and an idea sparked by Stiletto Boss University’s amazing leader, here we are… Among many others past and present, we want to thank ourselves, the _preneur Collective for answering the call, and doubling down to do something great together! Thank you to our presenting sponsor, Ally, for fiercely supporting grassroots efforts and seeding innovation in Charlotte. Thank you Self-Help Credit Union for being stalwart partners in community uplift for those typically left out of the picture. Thank you United Way of Greater Charlotte for being a conduit that all of the _preneur Collective organizations have been built up by. Thank you Fabi, Kimberly, Christopher, Carla, and Rashaan and Cathay for investing in youth ingenuity in many ways, including supporting the _preneur Conference. Thank you to vendors, session leaders, volunteers, and attendees for showing up and meeting your next client, collaborator, investor or mentor/mentee, in advance! There’s still time to join us! ??? 11/16/24 ?? Doors open at 9:30a ?? CPCC Central Campus - North Classroom Building ??????PreneurConference.com

Happy November all! When I was young I had a TON of social and community support. For all those that believed in me, and encouraged my potential, no one really said “hey, you’re an entrepreneur and that’s a plausible pathway for you career-wise.” Further, helping me understand the technical and planning pieces would not have been in too many people’s wheelhouse that I know supporting a teenager then. This is why, the _preneur Conference, my young friends (and those walking alongside to help shepherd their journey), is for you! Join the leaders of nine local nonprofits, including Money Magnets Club and me, whose missions intersect with #entrepreneurship and #financialhealth to make sure youth and young adults can see a pathway to entrepreneurship, connect to community, engage in commerce, and lean in to continuous learning. Get your tickets, vendor tables or group packages at preneurconference.com today! Attend. Vend. Bring a Friend! ???Saturday, November 16, 2024 ?Doors open at 9:30a, #preneurConference kicks off at 10a ??Central Piedmont Community College - Central Campus (North Classroom Building) #youth #youngadults #entrepreneurship #charlotte #charlottemc #entrepreneurs #kidpreneurs #GlobalEntrepreneurshipWeek

A couple of week in review photos with Money Magnets Club: We worked some great kids at Freedom Communities #MomsMovingForward program. We had a facilitator check in with our team and a little work and a little whimsy is good for everyone!! We had a super time with an energetic group of kids at ARK night at Stratford Richardson YMCA and had a great new volunteer work with us. Melinda Bell led a session with C4 Counseling for our board on understanding trauma and how the brain responds. Our board chair Rashaan Peek wrote a children’s book of affirmations…so much talent for one person!

Are you familiar with the vehicle for maximizing charitable contributions called a Donor Advised Fund (DAF)? In any case, the philanthropic community is drawing attention to the opportunity to grow funds you might have available to invest in important charitable causes you believe in, and to take action to allocate those funds to support that work in a sustainable way before the year’s end. Today is DAF day! You can securely donate via your DAF to Money Magnets Club on our website plug in for Fidelity Charitable?, Charles Schwab Charitable or BNY Wealth. https://lnkd.in/eABbx8km #DAFDay2024 #DAFDay #CharitableGiving #philanthropy #sustainablegiving
