Here in #Chicago this week for the Opportunity Finance Network Small Business Finance Forum. It’s the first time since 2019 that this forum has been held. New CEO Harold Pettigrew is recanting the response of CDFIs - community development financial institutions - during the pandemic.

“Climate isn’t changing, it has CHANGED”! #smallbiz #sbff23

“Small businesses are truly the backbone of our economy, as we like to say, but they are really giants in our economy … creating jobs, creating community, and innovating.” - Isabel Casillas Guzman #SBFF23 #smallbiz

Inspiring to hear Isabel Casillas Guzman talk with Harold Pettigrew about the importance of #CDFIs as SBA partners in reaching #smallbiz that need capital most to build wealth in their communities, combat #climatechange, scale up #tech, and so much more. #SBFF23 Opportunity Finance Network

This week in Chicago, where close to 500 CDFI practitioners are gathered for #SBFF, we've delivered sold-out training sessions with new tools and resources, from “CDFI 101” to fundamentals of climate lending with support from Citi Foundation. Learn more: ofn.org/news/ofn-launc…

This is an exciting partnership between Grameen America and BEYONCÉ's BeyGOOD. Together, they are offering $1 million in microloans, #business education and networking opportunities to Black and other women entrepreneurs to help grow their businesses.

Love this. Opportunity Finance Network
