About this Organization

Wilmington Alliance brings people together to drive innovative solutions, leverage resources and promote opportunities to empower the city’s residents and businesses. We collaborate with multiple partners to support entrepreneurs in the city and reduce barriers many underserved small business owners face on their path to success.

Programs

Kiva Delaware

Cornerstone West CDC and Wilmington Alliance launched Kiva Delaware in May 2022, to provide local small businesses an alternative access to capital and the opportunity to become bankable. Kiva US is a national expert in providing small 0% interest loans that support credit building. Microloans range from $1,000-$15,000.

Wilmington Kitchen Collective

In partnership with Riverfront Ministries, we provide commissary kitchens to serve culinary entrepreneurs in Wilmington. Members have access to low-cost, commercial kitchens as they work to move from informal to formal businesses, while we remove the financial barrier of initial licensures and permits. Members also receive training, access to workshops and opportunities that allows them to expand and grow, while working with our community partners to develop business plans.

WilmingtonMADE

Selected small businesses are matched with vendors to receive marketing or back-end support, free of charge. We also host monthly business workshops for entrepreneurs and maintain a local small business online directory.
