Designed to complement SEED\u2019s Entrepreneurial Training Program, the BUILD Institute, the Small Scale Developer Program focuses on key areas of development, including securing funding, project management, and navigating regulatory processes. Participants will gain practical skills applicable to redeveloping city-owned vacant properties and other projects throughout Fort Wayne.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The SEED\u2019s eight-week Small Scale Developer Program will<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Prepare developers with a series of readiness workshops.<\/li>\n<li>Use pre- and post-program assessments to measure growth in knowledge and capacity.<\/li>\n<li>Provide hands-on training to a cohort of up to 20 participants per session.<\/li>\n<li>Compile insights from the program to inform future capacity-building initiatives.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>To encourage new talent, 2\u20133 seats per session will be reserved for graduates of trade programs, with scholarship opportunities available. Course Fee: $275 per participant.<\/p>\n<p>The Don Wood Foundation grant ensures the program will run twice in 2025 and three times in 2026, meeting the growing demand created by the City\u2019s increased investments in housing and redevelopment initiatives.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHaving the support of the Don Wood Foundation is a major win for our community. We\u2019re coming together to provide meaningful direction and support for individuals looking to start or improve a career path that\u2019s in demand,\u201d said Mayor Tucker. \u201cPartnerships like this demonstrate why Fort Wayne is positioned for current and future growth and success.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDon Wood believed that anyone could succeed as an entrepreneur, if they have the mindset of tenacity, perseverance, and salesmanship, along with access to the skills and coaching they need to help them start and grow their business,\u201d said Laura Macknick, president and CEO, Don Wood Foundation. \u201cWe\u2019re confident this program will cultivate local entrepreneurs, particularly those in the southeast part of Fort Wayne, to start businesses, build intergenerational wealth, and strengthen the district&#8217;s economy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For more information about the program or to apply, visit <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fwcommunitydevelopment.org\/seed\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/www.fwcommunitydevelopment.org\/seed<\/a> or contact the SEED at 260-427-1127.<\/p>\n<p>SEED promotes entrepreneurial initiatives focusing on community, economic, and neighborhood development, with a focal point on the district\u2019s approximately seven square miles. SEED boundaries include the major commercial corridors within the city and are represented in all four quadrants, however, the district is primarily in the southeast quadrant of Fort Wayne.<\/p>\n<p>The Don Wood Foundation is a private foundation, established in 2018 by Don Wood, founder of 80\/20, Inc., that serves and supports innovators, leaders, collaborators, and skilled workers with the potential to create and sustain opportunities in manufacturing.
