Securing funding and dwindling resources is a challenge for most nonprofit organizations, but what about small businesses, entrepreneurs and individuals who might not qualify for loans from traditional banks? With the growing number of microbusinesses in our communities, there is a need to identify resources and programs to provide capital access for those who are struggling to obtain loans. This webinar will feature two Community Development Financial Institutions (CDFI) to discuss the range of programs available across the state of Michigan in both rural and urban communities.
Speakers: Christine Coady Narayanan, Opportunity Resource Fund and Chuck Hurst, Northern Initiatives
