Centro Community Partners is an Oakland-based nonprofit (501(c)(3)) in the San Francisco Bay Area that provides entrepreneurship and financial literacy training, access to microloans, and one-on-one business advisory services to low- to moderate-income entrepreneurs. Its programs aim to help individuals start or grow microenterprises and achieve greater economic security. The organization develops core business competencies in areas such as marketing, small business finance, strategy, operations, and management, and supports entrepreneurs in improving personal credit and leadership practices. Centro selects high-potential participants and supports them toward becoming community-serving business owners. A notable development in its recent history is the 2020 launch of the Centro Capital Hub, which connects Centro graduates and local entrepreneurs with different capital providers.
