Small businesses are invaluable incubators for groundbreaking innovation. Yet, the market fails to sufficiently support the resiliency and wellbeing of small business owners, their workers and their families through good quality jobs.

Looking forward to hosting you in Oakland tomorrow Dilawar Syed Dilawar Syed SBA for Pacific Community Ventures (PCV) 25th anniversary celebration for our entrepreneurs and community!

Today and every day, we celebrate the perseverance, strength and beauty of Indigenous communities around the world. Our traditions, cultures and lifeways are here to stay as we build a world where all Indigenous peoples are respected and heard. Happy Indigenous Peoples’ Day!

Now Erika Seth Davies is moderating a discussion with Pacific Community Ventures (PCV) CEO Bulbul Gupta & IFFcdfi CEO Joe Neri about CDFIs grappling with the racial equity mission that they started with but largely left behind over the past few decades. Hard questions, hard choices need to be made.

Our CEO, Bulbul Gupta, wrote an insightful op-ed titled 'CDFIs Shouldn’t Act Like Banks, But Too Often Do.' Read it here: shelterforce.org/2023/05/26/cdf…

Bulbul highlights the need for reforms like the CRA to center the needs of underserved communities.
