2024
Expanding Our Reach
In 2024, we achieved significant milestones that reflect our commitment to empowering entrepreneurs and fostering economic growth. We broadened our reach beyond Colorado, including our first loan in Arizona, marking a pivotal step in extending our impact to neighboring states.
We elevated our volume of loan approvals and fundings by 50%, demonstrating our dedication to supporting small businesses across diverse industries. We created new programs like our Credit Builder and Rural Express to better meet the needs of our small business community.
We also received approval for our CDFI Certification, which is monumental in our efforts to support small businesses, specifically for underserved or underestimated communities.
