Twin Cities Businesses Create Positive Ripple Effect in Communities with CRF Financing

CRF is dedicated to improving communities and transforming lives – announced today that it has crossed the $200 million milestone for Small Business Administration (SBA) 7(a) lending.

CRF’s Connect2Capital platform is a new way to support small businesses that do not qualify for traditional credit products by matching them with other flexible sources of financing from mission-driven Community Development Financial Institutions (CDFIs).

Chase for Business is returning as a title sponsor of Denver Startup Week, and will spotlight programs that assist Denver’s underserved entrepreneurs, plus engage U.S. Small Business Administrator Linda McMahon in a conversation focusing on startups and entrepreneurs.

The grant will help increase CRF lending in low-income and economically distressed communities.

We’re looking for Twin Cities-based small businesses that are making a lasting impact on their employees, customers, and neighbors.
