Part of the Foundation's entrepreneurial learning initiative is to ensure individuals are equipped with information, resources, credentials, and confidence to navigate, seek, secure, and advance sustainable employment along their chosen career paths, including starting and growing a business. The Foundation supports entrepreneurial learning through programs such as 1 million cups (1mc) and Kauffman fasttrac. 1mc provides a supportive, inclusive space for entrepreneurs and their communities to gather and connect, where they can work through business challenges and identify opportunities. Kauffman fasttrac provides access to free content, templates, and tools that help aspiring entrepreneurs refine their vision into a researched and tested business plan.

Convening:the Foundation's 40,000-square-foot conference center serves as a community resource, providing meeting facilities, state-of-the-art technology and amenities for a wide range of local, regional and national gatherings. We provide the space at no charge for nonprofits to use for their charitable programs and activities. In addition, the Foundation uses the space to further its own convening purposes as well.
