DETERMINATION, INCORPORATED IS A 501C3 NONPROFIT BASED IN KANSAS CITY, MO.
OUR MISSION: We empower a community of formerly incarcerated entrepreneurs with service-based businesses that are supporting one another on their reentry and entrepreneurial journeys.
OUR VISION: That formerly incarcerated people, by starting viable, hiring businesses, will help to solve the problem of recidivism, create financial freedom, and build intergenerational wealth.
WHAT WE DO
BACK TO BUSINESS
Our in-prison workshop prepares returning citizens with a business and action plan so they can hit the ground running upon release.
BE THE BOSS
In our business support group formerly incarcerated people receive the knowledge and guidance they need to succeed as entrepreneurs.
RISE UP, GET STARTED
In our Rise Up, Get Started program in 2023, we are supporting second chance entrepreneurs as they apply for business loans and grants in the Kansas City-area.
SUBSCRIBE TO OUR PODCAST “OWN IT: STARTING A BUSINESS AFTER PRISON.”
We bring you real life stories of what it takes to start a business after prison from people who have been there. We’re bringing you hope, advice, and plenty of laughs.
Own It is available wherever you get your podcasts and on tablets in Missouri prisons so that men and women can listen and plan for their successful reentry. We want our listeners to succeed, to get out of prison and never go back, and to live the life of their dreams.
