Ember
Sponsorship Opportunities
Help Fuel Local Growth.
Ember helps owners push through that stage — with real support, real structure, and a clear path forward.
This isn’t another branding class or pitch night. Ember focuses on what actually keeps a business running: finances, systems, leadership, and tech.
We use non-traditional teaching methods, real-world scenarios, and interactive sessions that speak directly to the challenges owners face every day.
Over six weeks, serious local business owners meet in person with experienced professionals who bring accountability and practical guidance. With your support, they leave stronger, more focused, and better equipped to grow.
Your sponsorship doesn’t just fund a program. It helps build the kind of resilient local economy that benefits everyone in Warren.

The Ember Business Workshop series is produced by The D5 Group, with a deep commitment to helping small businesses thrive and contributing to the economic development and equity of our city.
This would not be possible without the support of Councilwoman Hellen Rucker and the City of Warren, whose belief in the power of local business continues to shape real opportunity in our community.
