SHAPANSKY FOUNDATION

The Shapansky Foundation is a member of The Aspen Network of Development Entrepreneurs (ANDE), a global network of organizations that propel entrepreneurship in emerging markets... Beyond contributing financial capital, the Shapansky Foundation provides a unique approach to business development and management support through tailored coaching, technical assistance, and mentoring which allows for sustainable growth... Two former CEOs who believe in the power of business to transform developing communities launched the Shapansky Foundation in 2011 after working in international development with non-governmental organizations for several years. Our aim is to actively create an impact by selecting small businesses with both passion and a strong vision to grow and enabling that growth with capital and support. By supporting these businesses and their entrepreneur's goals, individual lives and communities of people are transformed.
