Women's Bean Project
Women’s Bean Project is a Colorado 501(c)(3) social enterprise whose mission is to change women’s lives by providing stepping stones to self-sufficiency through transitional employment, job training, and wraparound support.
About Women's Bean Project
Women’s Bean Project is a Denver-based social enterprise that hires women who have experienced chronic unemployment or other significant barriers and provides on-the-job training in dry-food manufacturing alongside life-skills classes, case management, and job placement services.
The organization operates a retail and wholesale food business that funds a portion of program services; recent organizational activity includes a 2024–2027 strategic plan, published FY2023 financials and annual report (2022–2023), and a leadership transition announced in 2025.
Notable achievements
Longstanding social enterprise model
Operating since the late 1980s, WBP has grown into a nationally recognized social enterprise that combines paid transitional jobs with training to move women into community employment.
Documented program outcomes
Recent reported outcomes include a high employment retention metric (reported ~93% of graduates remain employed one year after program completion) and that graduates transition into community jobs.
Organizational growth and sustainability
Over the past two decades the organization expanded its earned-revenue model, relocated to a larger facility (1300 W. Alameda) and increased annual revenue substantially, supported by grants and philanthropic gifts to implement strategic plans.
