The Women's Opportunities Resource Center (WORC) is a nationally recognized not-for-profit organization headquartered in Philadelphia that promotes social and economic self-sufficiency for economically disadvantaged women and their families. WORC provides entrepreneurial training, individual business assistance, incentive savings programs, and access to business and financial resources. WORC empowers its constituents through various self-help strategies including savings, a self-employment network, and access to its local and national affiliations. Additionally, WORC encourages community awareness and responsiveness concerning issues impacting economic equity and independence.

The Economic Opportunities Fund (EOF) was created in 1999 in response to the increasingly unmet demand for start-up capital experienced by graduates of entrepreneurship training programs provided by parent, Women’s Opportunities Resource Center (WORC). EOF is a designated Community Development Financial Institution (CDFI) through the U.S. Department of Treasury.
