  NEBRASKA
  Historically, Nebraskans have built their livelihoods and communities one job at a time – primarily through small, family-operated businesses and farms. Many of today’s most successful businesses in Nebraska began many years ago as small locally-owned businesses.  
 
  ENTERPRISE 
  Microenterprise businesses – with five or fewer employees – are the base of Nebraska’s economy. The Nebraska Enterprise Fund does not directly serve businesses, but provides funding for programs that provide loans, training and technical assistance to businesses.
   
   FUND
  The Nebraska Enterprise Fund is a statewide financial intermediary dedicated to supporting microenterprise practitioners. In 1997 the Nebraska Microenterprise Partnership Fund became incorporated as a  501(c)(3) and became a certified Community Development Financial Institution (CDFI) in 1998.  In 2008, the Partnership Fund name was changed to Nebraska Enterprise Fund.

Nebraska Enterprise Fund raises funds from various national- and state-level sources and then awards grants, loans, and related products to microenterprise programs through an annual “request for proposal” process.
