Story From The Founder
Dawn Hardwick, a dynamic and self-driven entrepreneur, embodies the essence of resilience and determination. Her unique perspective stems from having navigated both sides of the business world—as a business owner and as a consumer.
Before her entrepreneurial journey, Dawn held a significant role in a Fortune 500 company, overseeing one of the largest payrolls and managing the processing of over 13,000 retirees. However, her path took an inspiring turn when she stepped out on faith and established her own successful payroll company. This leap of faith transformed her into a business owner, and she has thrived ever since.
With an impressive 35 years of customer service experience, Dawn understands the intricacies of consumer needs and effective marketing strategies. Her passion for entrepreneurship led her to attend a three-day class in Miami, Florida, where she delved into the world of real estate investment and learned how to create multiple streams of cash flow.
But Dawn’s journey doesn’t stop there. She is committed to lifelong learning and is currently pursuing a degree in Business Management. Her dedication to education mirrors her commitment to empowering others.
As the founder of the Community Faith Wealth Mission, Dawn’s vision is clear: to empower individuals from low-income communities, bridging gaps and providing resources for aspiring entrepreneurs. Her organization, a non-profit 501©3, aims to create opportunities for wealth-building through entrepreneurship. With her extensive experience and unwavering faith, Dawn inspires and motivates new entrepreneurs, emphasizing the true meaning of passion and vision.
Her team at the DLB Consulting Group LLC shares her mission, focusing on various aspects of business development, including setting up LLCs, S-Corps, non-profit organizations, bookkeeping, payroll, business insurance, branding, credit building, real estate, and more. Their goal is to empower businesses, foster collaboration, and leave a lasting legacy of generational wealth.

Organizational Background
The founder of this remarkable organization had already achieved success by running both an LLC and a podcast. However, her journey took a transformative turn when she attended three days of classes in Miami, Florida. During these sessions, she delved into the world of real estate investment and learned how to build multiple streams of cash flow.
Armed with over 35 years of customer service experience, she was determined to turn her passion and vision into reality. Her vision was clear: to empower and inspire individuals from low-income communities who faced barriers to accessing resources necessary for their entrepreneurial dreams. She recognized that many aspiring entrepreneurs lacked the support and education needed to bring their visions to fruition.
And so, the Community Faith Wealth Mission was born—a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization with a powerful mission. Their goal? To empower a new generation of entrepreneurs, regardless of their background or previous experience. They achieve this by providing education, funding, and mentorship to those who need it most.
The Chief Executive Officer, Diana Cooper-Vanderlip, with over 40 years of non-profit leadership experience, joined forces with the founder to bring this vision to life. Together, they are bridging gaps, breaking barriers, creating legacy and creating opportunities for healthy living and wealth-building through entrepreneurship.
In summary, the Community Faith Wealth Mission stands as a beacon of hope, fostering entrepreneurship and empowering individuals and faith-based organizations to create a better future for themselves and their communities. 🌟
