FROM THE LEADERSHIPDear Friends and Supporters:

This year marks the first full year of WomenVenture operating under its narrowed strategic vision—supporting women to start and grow their small businesses by providing training, business consulting and loans up to $50,000.

Through the support of our partners we were able to start or grow 194 businesses last year, generating $7.9 million in gross sales. For every dollar invested by one of our partners, $5 was returned to the Minnesota economy.

One of the definitions of courage is, “the quality of spirit that enables one to face fear or change with self-possession, confidence and resolution.” Our entrepreneurs exemplify courage through their persistence in pursuit of capital; their commitment to gaining new, often unfamiliar skills and their willingness to face down their deepest fear—the fear of failure. At WomenVenture, they find a supportive woman-centered culture where they receive the training, technical support and much needed capital to make their dreams of successful business ownership come true.

The stories of our courageous entrepreneurs fuel our own passions to deepen the effectiveness of our work. Your ongoing support makes this work possible. Thank you from the board, staff and entrepreneurs of WomenVenture!

OUR IMPACT

Much of Tina North’s success has been due to her keen ability to provide her customers what they want. As the owner of Moss Envy—a Twin Cities eco-boutique featuring sustainable clothing, accessories, housewares and furniture—Tina continues to refine the products she offers as the preferences of the green community evolve. The result is that her profits continue to grow, year after year.

WomenVenture has played a critical part in Tina’s business. She worked with the agency from the get-go, initially for help writing a business plan, managing her finances and developing marketing strategies. As she planned to open a second store, Tina secured funding from WomenVenture and participated in classes that addressed the challenges of an expanding enterprise. She became a part of a community of female entrepreneurs. And throughout her journey, she worked one-on-one with a business consultant to help guide her.

For more than 35 years, WomenVenture has been dedicated to its mission—providing more than 100,000 women of all ages, cultures, races and income levels with tools and resources to achieve economic success. Since 1982, WomenVenture has been the only source of funds and education in the Twin Cities that caters its services to the needs of entrepreneurial women. Though the agency serves the entire community, WomenVenture is focused on serving and empowering low to moderate income women.*

Mary Lee DaytonMay 12, 1925-August 21, 2013

Mary Lee Dayton was a powerful force for change in Minnesota. She headed countless board and fundraising drives for a number of Twin Cities nonprofits dedicated to education and empowerment. She was a tireless champion for girls and women, and a loyal supporter of Women-Venture since 1983; thousands of women entrepreneurs received micro-loans, classes and consulting services from the organization because of Mary Lee’s incredible generosity. Although Mary Lee’s pioneering spirit will be sorely missed, her legacy of selfless philanthropy and visionary leadership will reverberate through countless generations of women business owners in Minnesota.

Randi Yoder and Michael Henley share a common drive to leave a lasting impact. Soon after they married, they joined the Peace Corps in the Dominican Republic where they learned an important lesson: while they could not dismantle systemic poverty, they could teach women the importance of boiling water to improve their families’ health. One woman at a time, they transformed entire communities.

Their experience in the Dominican Republic shaped their lives. Randi became one of the early employees of CHART, the organization that merged into WEDCO to form WomenVenture. By leading the CHART career development program, Randi helped transition women from homemaking to professional careers, and from the nonprofit to the private sector, allowing women to provide for their families.

After CHART, Randi served on the board of directors for six years and as advisory board co-chair for the past 12 years. Michael served two terms on the board and 11 years on the resource development committee. All throughout, both have provided fundraising leadership that makes WomenVenture’s work possible.

In 1993, Randi and Michael decided to make a Legacy Gift to WomenVenture. Twenty years later, they are still passionate about giving back. “We feel that our estate gift to WomenVenture will not only be important to the organization, but will also be a gift to our children and their children. It is an expression of our values and our commitment to improving the lives of women. We hope that our philanthropy will inspire our children’s philanthropy and community engagement.”

WomenVenture is proud to recognize Randi Yoder and Michael Henley for their extraordinary work on behalf of our mission. Through their designation of WomenVenture as a beneficiary in their wills, Randi and Michael’s passion for transforming women’s lives will resound through Minnesota for generations to come.

VOLUNTEERS

Mary Poul, Volunteer

In the late 1990s, Mary Poul joined the volunteer program development committee that helped shape the classes and services offered by WomenVenture. Her role expanded to include teaching classes, including the agency’s core program on small business development, Planning to Succeed. Additionally, Mary is a presenter for Be Strategic, a new eight-part course that gives entrepreneurs the tools they need to grow their businesses and she rejoined the program committee last year. A longtime 3M employee who recently launched her own marketing and sales consulting firm, Mary has shared her expertise with WomenVenture clients for more than 15 years.

General Mills has been a perennial supporter of WomenVenture since 1982, providing both financial and volunteer resources. This year, that support was elevated when the General Mills Women in Marketing group shared their expertise with WomenVenture clients who participated in the newly launched Be Strategic series—evaluating and providing feedback for each participant’s marketing plan. Their generous donation of time and talent, along with organizing a business book drive for WomenVenture’s resource library, underscore General Mills’ dedication to helping women achieve economic success and nourishing lives in the Twin Cities community.
