Block Community Hub

Join us on Thursday, September 19, for Unlocking Capital: Partnerships in Support of Small Business to learn about the different ways Community Development Financial Institutions (CDFIs) support the small business community and successful partnership models between CDFIs and municipalities to strengthen local small business and economic growth. Community Development Financial Institutions (CDFIs) are gaining broader recognition as effective conduits of flexible capital to communities and individuals not well served by traditional financial systems. The role of small business-focused CDFIs became increasingly visible during the COVID-19 pandemic and they continue to play a key role in supporting local economic development ecosystems, particularly for underserved small business owners. Small businesses are a critical engine to the economy by creating jobs, providing goods and services, and building community. This event is hosted by the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco, Working Solutions CDFI, and East Bay EDA. Register today!
