The Foundation for Wisconsin Women Entrepreneurs is a nonprofit organization that funds E3 Experiential Entrepreneurial Education for women and through GIRLSBIZ empowers girls to start and manage their own group business. GIRLSBIZ empowers middle school girls ages 11 through 13 to develop and manage their own group business. Each year girls come together under the leadership of adult business advisors who help them choose a company name and work with a designer on a logo. The girls survey Wisconsin Women Entrepreneurs Southcentral members for product ideas and use the survey results to select products.
