Every entrepreneur WACIF supports is writing a story of resilience and innovation—and DC Vegan is helping shape one rooted in sustainability, community, and purposeful growth.

As an all-day restaurant, cheese shop, and catering company, DC Vegan has built its business around more than plant-based food. Their mission is to create a healthier, more equitable, and more sustainable future for Washington, DC.

Through WACIF’s Green Growth Fund, DC Vegan secured working capital to strengthen operations and support continued growth. More than financing, this investment reflects WACIF’s commitment to helping mission-driven businesses access the resources they need to scale without compromising their values.

DC Vegan also serves as a Sustainable Entrepreneurship Ambassador, working alongside WACIF to advance sustainability goals, engage in community programs, and model what responsible business leadership can look like.

Their journey shows what happens when entrepreneurs are supported with capital, accountability, and community: they create businesses that not only thrive, but also drive lasting impact.

At WACIF, we believe sustainable entrepreneurship is about more than products—it’s about building resilient businesses that strengthen communities and shape the future.

Because when vision is backed by the right support, it becomes impact.
