The Bamboo Fund is RMMFI’s first-ever individual giving campaign, and we need you with us.
Membership starts at just $10/month, with a commitment to give for 12 months. These small, consistent gifts create big impact by helping us continue to offer accessible, high-touch support to underinvested entrepreneurs across Colorado.
Like many nonprofits, RMMFI is navigating a rapidly shifting funding landscape, from reduced federal and state funding to difficult-to-understand executive orders that delay or restrict access to support. As funders shift priorities, we’re calling on our own community to keep the dream of small business ownership alive.
The Bamboo Fund was created in the spirit of the RMMFI graduate-run Bamboo Club, a Leadership Team and Community of Boot Camp Graduates dedicated in part to advancing RMMFI entrepreneurs into thriving businesses. Bamboo is a strong symbol of the power of togetherness - it grows faster and stronger when stalks grow side by side, hold each other up. That’s what this fund is all about.
The Bamboo Fund brings together graduates, volunteers, and passionate supporters to strengthen RMMFI’s mission: To make entrepreneurship accessible to everyone. Your monthly donation fuels cohorts, coaching, low-barrier loans, and a community where small business can thrive.
We’re building an ecosystem where anyone with a dream can access the tools, capital, and community support to make it real. With your help, we can keep showing up and growing together.
Give monthly to keep entrepreneurship accessible to Coloradans.

People are unstoppable forces. Life circumstances are real and sometimes overwhelming, but they should not determine what you can do in the present or be in the future. We believe everyone should be free to make choices to activate the possible. RMMFI creates the space for communities and people of all backgrounds to realize their unique potential through the power of entrepreneurship.
Micro entrepreneurship is a powerful tool for building individual and community prosperity, but personal, professional, and economic barriers prevent individuals from accessing the benefits of small business ownership. These barriers also result in a poorly diversified economy, with folks who make less than 80% of the Denver Metro AMI finding themselves with limited opportunities. RMMFI supports resilient entrepreneurs ready for business ownership who want to achieve financial independence, build generational wealth, grow their dreams into reality, and define their pathways to success.
