About this grant
This grant to Goodwill Industries International, Inc., will continue to support the development of a microenterprise model that can be replicated among Goodwill organizations nationwide. The grantee will model its replication after the Atlanta Goodwill program entitled "BusinessNOW".

Tools and concepts developed will be shared with the 168 North American Goodwill organizations via learning events, webinars, and an extranet knowledge management system entitled "MyGoodwill".
