Beloved Community Incubator is a worker self-directed nonprofit that provides sliding-scale support for worker-owned cooperatives, collective projects, business owners, and freelancers in the Washington, DC metro region.

We help workers create and maintain their own businesses, so that workers control their work, pay themselves living wages, and democratically steward resources together. We provide incubation support, including leadership development, ecosystem and resource organizing and legal, bookkeeping and administrative support for new cooperatives that create living wage work and that are led by poor and working class Black, Brown, Indigenous and People of Color.

We support local cooperatives and collectives via the BCI Network, where we provide training, leadership development, back-end administrative support, legal support, and assistance with grants and financing to more than a dozen network members in the DC Metro area.
