refugees - and to encourage their full participation in the
economic, social and cultural growth of America.
AnewAmerica has a 9-year track record of success providing
Entrepreneurs and their families a package of comprehensive
services for three years to meet their entrepreneurial, cultural
and linguistic needs. To keep building on the success of our
one-of-a-kind model, which integrates business incubation,
asset-building and social responsibility, we depend on the
sustaining support of generous investors like you.

order to continue to support our clients during the political
and cultural shifts of today, Investor’s Guild members give
AnewAmerica the resources to collaborate with, guide and support
our clients and their families throughout the varied and growing
communities of the Bay Area.
