women INVEST IN THEIR WORK
Investing in woman-run businesses works because of they way they invest in their work—and back into their communities.
BIG IMPACT STARTS SMALL
Microloans are anything but small for small businesses, especially those run by women and the gender-marginalized.
Microloans empower women by creating economic opportunities to build wealth without incurring a massive financial burden, thus giving them greater control over their future.
More than a powerful tool for entrepreneurs to get their businesses off the ground, microlending is a big step toward promoting equality for women in business.
Of the 33.2 million small businesses in the US, nearly 13 million of them are women-owned, generating nearly $1.8 trillion in revenue and employing almost 10 million people.

SMALL CHANGE,
LEADS TO BIG CHANGE
Many women start companies to solve problems and provide services their communities need. By backing women-owned ventures, our investors back stronger communities where these successful businesses thrive.
When women-owned businesses succeed, families and communities thrive, and jobs are created. The opportunity to partner with women entrepreneurs in their efforts builds successful enterprises—and the local businesses that bolster stronger communities.
