For Donors
The “What Do You Need?” Endowment is built around a simple belief: often times a business leader doesn’t need a loan. They need one practical opportunity, one critical tool, or one timely connection.
A laptop. A desk. A trailer. A mentor. A phone call. A piece of equipment. An introduction to the right business owner across the country.
This endowment exists to help serious entrepreneurs overcome real-world obstacles that too often stop momentum cold. Every situation is different. The goal is not dependency. The goal is helping hardworking people keep moving forward.
As The Executives Institute grows into a national business resource, this fund will allow experienced leaders, contributors, and supporters to directly strengthen the next generation of American business builders.
The complete endowment program will be rolled out in Q1 2027.

For Applicants
Sometimes the difference between surviving and shutting down is smaller than people think. Maybe you don’t need a large investment. Maybe you need guidance from someone who has already solved the problem you are facing. A practical connection. A workspace. A second chance to regain momentum. The “What Do You Need?” Endowment is built for entrepreneurs who are willing to work, willing to learn, and serious about building something meaningful. This is not about handouts. It is about identifying real obstacles and helping determined people move past them with practical support from experienced business leaders across the United States. May 25, 2026: Applications will be available in the coming months.
