Quarterly, registration-based cohorts of 15–25 participants — large enough to build community, small enough for meaningful support.
Building the Capacity to Fund the Vision
Grant research, proposal writing, program development, budgeting, and submission. Cultivates the standing EDI Grant Writing Committee that will support Paradise CDC's funding pipeline. Includes practical AI literacy for streamlining research and drafting.
From Idea to Income
For aspiring and existing business owners. Business plans, legal structure, marketing, pricing, finance basics, and a launch or growth action plan — closing with a community Business Showcase. AI literacy is included for operations, marketing, and customer outreach.
Protecting What We Build
Wills, trusts, powers of attorney, healthcare directives, beneficiary designations, probate, and organizing family financial information — pairs with an Estate Planning Clinic and legal referrals.
From Information to Action
Savings, emergency funds, retirement accounts, investing basics, real estate, and insurance. Closes with the Wealth In Action Conference — keynote, breakout sessions, and a resource marketplace. AI literacy is introduced to support personal finance research and decision-making.
