MANSMANN FOUNDATION

Entrepreneurs forever, the principle program of the mansmann foundation, implements long-term entrepreneurial peer learning groups composed of existing growth ready small business owners who are often isolated, disconnected, and intentionally excluded from the ceo peer group organizations accessible to much larger businesses. The entrepreneurs forever's model has been carefully designed to strengthen the relationships and skills needed for small business owners to stabilize and grow their small businesses, thus increasing family income, creating new jobs, and contributing to the vitality of their communities. Beginning in 2023, the mansmann foundation is dba entrepreneurs forever in order to avoid market confusion.
