If you are currently working, please tell us where and what you do:
If you work, about how many hours a week?
About how much money did you make in the last year?
Did you or your family face financial challenges while you were growing up that caused difficulty affording basic needs like housing, food, or healthcare? Please explain. (Your answers are confidential. We ask because some of our funders want to know generally about the background of our participants with regard to financial stability.)
Following is a list of household income levels matched with the number of people in the household.

Thinking about where you grew up, did you grow up in housing that had "More," "Less," or "About the same" amount of money as listed for the size of your household?

1 person:$30,000; 5 people: $70,000

2 people: $40,000; 6 people: $80,000

3 people: $50,000; 7 people: $90,000

4 people: $60,000; 8 people: $100,000
For example, if 3 people lived in your house growing up and you think your family earned more than $50,000, you would write "MORE" below.

MoreLessAbout the same
What challenges and successes do you have with money? (We ask this question to help us prepare for serving our participants with information helpful to their needs.)
How do you describe your identity? You may check more than one box. Community Carrot does not discriminate nor make decisions based on race. We track this information because our funders want a broad picture of who we serve; we also use the information to ensure we are providing equitable opportunities to applicants.

Do you have ideas for a business? It’s okay if you don’t. But if you do, what business are you thinking of starting or have already started?

Are there days of the week and times that you are not available to meet for our entrepreneurship instruction? We have one class that lasts 3 hours per week, and this will help us create a schedule that works with as many people as possible.

Is there anything else you'd like to tell us about your availability? For example, if you have a child that would need childcare, or if you absolutely can never meet on Wednesdays, please let us know below.
To take this program, you will need a good working laptop and wifi service. If you don't have regular access to one of these let us know and we will try to provide it for you.
