Donate
Donate today to provide small business owners with the knowledge and funds they need to succeed: free to low-cost classes, free business coaching, and access to capital. Over 25% of our budget is funded by donors and companies like you!
-
Refer
99% of our small business loans are to “traditionally unbankable” entrepreneurs. We specialize in working with small business owners from all walks of life, helping them become loan ready and access capital. Referring a small business owner in need of support can help get them the resources they need.
-
Sponsor
When your company aligns with the economic development of BIPOC, women, veterans, LGBTQ+, and immigrants/refugees, you will receive more than recognition. You will gain the satisfaction of knowing that you are building and sustaining neighborhoods by funding our events and programs that directly benefit small business owners.

Invest
With a social impact investment, feel good about where your dollars are going: our communities! We manage investor funds with guaranteed returns to provide loans to small business owners in Washington, Oregon, & Alaska from $5,000 to $5000,000 for small business loans and up to $750,000 for commercial real estate loans. Your investment of $100,000 to $1,000,000 lets you and the businesses you support thrive.
