Microloans Change Lives
Entrepreneurship drives the creation of nearly two-thirds of all private-sector jobs and is a proven path to the middle class, yet not everyone has access to the capital they need to sustain or grow their business.
With a small amount of money and the opportunity to work hard in their own business, the results are astounding.
Those are just a few of the reasons why we provide microloans to underserved small businesses, particularly those owned by low- and moderate-income immigrants, people of color, and women.
