Do you mean programs exclusively helping immigrants get funding for business development? This is one for refugees and entrants.

There are also non-profit corporations who are a drain on the economy through their tax-exempt status. A guidestar keyword search produces over 1700 entries. A search for immigrant and business produces 39 such agencies.

Here is one:

quote from the summary on above site:

"Acre Family Day Care trains low-income and immigrant women to run child care businesses in their homes, and provides the administrative, technical, and educational support to offer culturally-sensitive childcare to families in the community. "

Reform on the nature of "tax-exempt" businesses is way overdue, IMO. If there is going to be an income tax, then groups such as these, ANSWER, Sierra Club, etc. should also pay.
