Entrepreneurship
San Bernardino County will receive nearly $7 million in federal funding to support a series of infrastructure and public safety improvements across the region. The funding, secured by members of the county’s congressional delegation, will help pay for upgrades to roads, animal shelters, and wastewater and sewer infrastructure, according to a statement posted on the county’s website. Behavioral health programs and the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department search and rescue team will also receive a portion of the funding. “This funding demonstrates what is possible when local priorities are elevated to the federal level,” said Supervisor Dawn Rowe, chair of the Board of Supervisors, in the statement. “We appreciate our congressional delegation securing federal resources that will have long-term benefits for San Bernardino County.” The funding is classified as Community Project Funding, a practice formerly known as earmarking. Community Project Funding allows members of Congress to secure federal dollars for projects in their districts, provided the requests are submitted during the annual federal appropriations process, according to the statement.

LOS ANGELES, CA — Urban Ingenuity℠ proudly announces the launch of Founders Forum, an immersive mastermind and leadership experience designed for emerging entrepreneurs, nonprofit founders, and community change agents who are building businesses—and movements—grounded in purpose, vision, and impact. Created and led by transformational strategist and social impact leader Kim Anthony, Founders Forum goes beyond traditional business workshops. It is an experiential space where ideas are ignited, leadership is activated, and founders are seen, supported, and celebrated. “Founders Forum is for the doers, the dreamers, and the builders,” says Anthony. “It’s for people who are creating something out of nothing—not just for profit, but for purpose. This isn’t a seminar. This is a soul-centered, strategy-driven space to grow.” The inaugural Founders Forum will feature: Experiential learning sessions rooted in personal development and high-performance habits Breakthrough business strategies for launching, sustaining, and scaling purpose-driven enterprises Live coaching and mastermind circles to foster peer-to-peer learning and collaboration Signature ceremonies and visibility moments to honor the courage it takes to build from the ground up Founders Forum is especially designed for those who often feel overlooked in traditional entrepreneurial spaces—visionaries from underserved communities, late bloomers, women founders, and first-generation builders looking for guidance, grit, and growth.
