Our History
Beyond Existing Enterprises was born out of a deep desire to see passionate, mission-driven leaders not just survive—but thrive.
After witnessing countless faith-based groups, grassroots organizers, and community leaders struggle to navigate the complexities of nonprofit compliance, funding, and sustainability, we knew something had to change. Too many powerful visions were being delayed—or lost altogether—because the support system simply wasn't there.
Beyond Existing Enterprises was launched to bridge that gap. Our mission is simple: to equip nonprofit founders, especially in Black and underrepresented communities, with the tools, clarity, and confidence they need to build lasting organizations that honor their calling and uplift their communities.
We believe you were made for more than just existing. You were made to lead, to impact, and to leave a legacy of change. And we're here to help you do just that—one conversation, one solution, and one breakthrough at a time.
Our Mission
At Beyond Existing Enterprises, our mission is to empower faith-based leaders, grassroots organizers, and nonprofit founders—especially within Black and underserved communities—to build sustainable, compliant, and impactful organizations.
We are committed to providing practical solutions, personalized support, and strategic guidance so that leaders can move beyond survival mode and create lasting legacies.
Through coaching, consulting, and community-building, we help transform passionate visions into thriving nonprofits that serve, uplift, and heal communities for generations to come.
