The Making It! Institute for the Advancement of Small Business is a 501-c3 not-for-profit corporation founded by television producer, Nelson Davis, to benefit his community of fellow entrepreneurs and aspiring small business owners. Inspired by 20 years of experience producing Making It! America's most lauded small business TV program, the creation of The Institute was accelerated in response to our country's economic challenges.
Many of these business obstacles are expected to remain even after this recession passes as thousands of people, who have lost jobs, have found that there are fewer employment opportunities available and are hungry to become business owners. The Institute is currently developing programs and events that deliver knowledge, guidance, and inspiration, with an emphasis on women, minorities, and underserved communities. We feel that entrepreneurial thinking and pursuits are the route to individual economic advancement, strong families, and productive communities. With the support of a select group of partners, The Institute is dedicated to improving communities through disseminating entrepreneurial knowledge and training.
