History

INCREASE Community Development Corporation (INCREASE CDC) began at Columbus Christian Center (CCC) church as the "EnterPrize Group" in November 1992.

Its mission was to develop the members of CCC and the surrounding community through practical instruction on business, financial and personal growth principles.

In October 1999, the EnterPrize Group began the School of Business & Commerce (SBC), an entrepreneurship program developed to teach aspiring entrepreneurs how to develop a fundable business plan over a 26-week period.

The introduction of this program helped transition the organization into a non-profit corporation and in 2000, INCREASE CDC received 501c3 status.
