New York, NY, October 29, 2020 --(PR.com)-- Community Leader, Activist, and Corporate Executive
Leads Mission to Educate, Connect and Support 1 Million Entrepreneurs Worldwide

The Lonely Entrepreneur, the global resource and community for independent business owners, today
announced that Ebony Young has been named President of the organization’s 510(c)(3) non-profit
operations. As leader of The Lonely Entrepreneur non-profit, Ms. Young will drive global initiatives,
partnerships, and programs to empower 1 million entrepreneurs with the skills, tools, and support they
need to survive and thrive in an increasingly challenging business environment.

Ms. Young is a noted leader and champion for communities in need. She previously served as the
Executive Director of the Forty Wayne YMCA in her home state of Indiana, before assuming the role of
Executive Director of the YMCA of Greater New York, a position she held for more than a decade. Most
recently, Ms. Young served as the head of Corporate Social Responsibility for TF Cornerstone, a New
York-based real-estate development company, where she was instrumental in ensuring corporations met
the needs of the communities they serve.

“There is no understating the importance of the moment we are in right now,” explained Ms. Young.
“Entrepreneurs are the engine of progress, growth, and stability within our communities. Yet, far too
often, people with the talent and hustle to build and sustain the businesses that underpin strong
communities lack the basic tools and support they need to thrive and survive. The Lonely Entrepreneur is
making an impact today by reaching into our communities to build strong foundations that will endure for
generations.

Melinda Gates Foundation, has earned a Gold Seal of Transparency from Guidestar, and received the
