Affordable expertise for growing businesses The Institute for Entrepreneurial Leadership (IFEL) is an independent, not-for-profit organization that supports inner city economic development through entrepreneurship. Our mission is to stimulate economic development in inner city communities by accelerating the growth of the small business sector. We have a particular outreach effort targeting women and minority business owners who often lack sufficient access to business capital. While IFEL does not provide direct funding to companies, it helps mitigate access to capital as a barrier to success by providing capable entrepreneurs with essential resources key to short-term survivability and long-term growth.
