About Newspring
Newspring are followers of Christ: professionals, business people, artists, teachers, and colleagues who believe that helping others to sustain themselves and their families financially is an important part of our Christian witness.
Newspring is totally focused on the Spring Branch area of Houston. Those of us who work with Newspring believe that many people in Spring Branch suffer the effects of economic instability. Families in Spring Branch are constantly on the move, seeking employment and better housing. It is difficult for many Spring Branch businesses to network into the broader Houston marketplace.
The primary goal of Newspring is to help stabilize Spring Branch, especially the Latino population there. How? By starting and nurturing businesses in the area. We are experienced business men and women who want to share what we know about business. And we also help Spring Branch businesses by expanding their market opportunities, offering our collective network of business contacts and potential customers far beyond the borders of Spring Branch.
Newspring was organized in 2006 and is a 501(c)(3) public charity.
