Making a Difference in the life of an entrepreneur means helping a talented individual to build a business that will sustain his or her family, provide jobs, and keep cash circulating in our communities. Every penny counts. Show your support for our entrepreneurs today!

As we close Women's History Month, we salute all of the hardworking mothers, wives, and female professionals and entrepreneurs amongst us! Without a doubt, women have proven that we can achieve anything we put our minds to, and that we can be successful simultaneously in multiple areas of our lives.

This month, I was humbled to be recognized in honor of Women's History Month by the Hudson County Executive and the Board of Chosen Freeholders, as one of 25 women who has made a difference in the community. My inspiration to continue the work of Rising Tide Capital, however, comes from so many other women-the strong women in my own family, the dedicated women who work at Rising Tide Capital, and our amazing female entrepreneurs, many of them not just working to provide for their families, but  embarking on enterprises that can benefit their own communities.

Just this month we received updates about three of our female entrepreneurs who are working tirelessly to promote various aspects of literacy-Cherese Bracey, who wants children to learn to love reading from an early age, Mona Fitch-Elliott, who has a real passion for empowering older youth to enjoy learning, and Desiree Harris, who has written a book to benefit Autism Speaks, which was inspired by her son.

The typical Rising Tide Entrepreneur is a 39-year old mother of two, earning under $33,000 annually. They come to Rising Tide Capital, with the hope of turning their skills, their dreams and their talents, into viable businesses. If you would like to help us continue to support exceptional women just like Cherese, Mona and Desiree, please consider making a tax-deductible donation to support our programs and services, in honor of a woman who inspires you.

Thanks,
