For Small Businesses
Solutions
Programmatic solutions as unique as the communities we serve
No two communities are the same, and we know there’s no single solution to address the complex issues of social and economic injustice. Each of CRF’s solution offerings are critical input sources for designing and deploying our program offerings. Depending on the needs of each community served, CRF can draw on its expertise in lending, technology, and services to inform program creation.
