Entrepreneurs with Disabilities

At Community Futures we believe that managing ongoing health or disability issues should not be a barrier to business success. Since 1997 our Entrepreneurs with Disabilities Program (EDP) has made it easier for entrepreneurs with disabilities or ongoing health conditions to pursue their business goals by providing access to a network of business professionals and resources.  

Entrepreneurs With Disabilities Program (EDP)

The Community Futures Entrepreneurs with Disabilities Program (EDP) is designed to make it easier for entrepreneurs with disabilities or ongoing health conditions to pursue their business goals by providing access to a network of business professionals and resources.  Self-employment provides flexible hours, personalized work environments and economic inclusion for individuals who have a viable business idea and are ready, willing and motivated to run their own business.   

The program offers assistance with developing a business plan, business training, business coaching and business loans.

  • Self-declare a disability or ongoing health issue
  •  Have a viable business idea and have demonstrated commitment through research, learning and planning
