Rosario

Rosario was taking business education classes at Opportunity Fund's partner organization CEO Women when she heard about IDA Savings. "When I heard about the matched savings program, I saw a way for my business idea to turn into reality." Rosario has practiced massage therapy for years and wants to open her own business in Oakland. Having her own business will allow her more flexibility to take care of her two daughters and grandson who live with her in her Alameda home. With a business plan from CEO Women and money management training and savings match from Opportunity Fund, Rosario is gathering the tools and confidence she needs to start her own business.
