Local Government Leaders: How to invest in small business capital for long-term recovery in your community

The California Rebuilding Fund has facilitated nearly $30 million dollars in low-interest loans to small and micro-business owners across the state since it launched in December 2020. Cities and counties throughout California are reaching out to learn how to get involved.

Please join Calvert Impact Capital, Pacific Community Ventures, Community Reinvestment Fund, Kiva, Opportunity Fund, CAMEO and Small Business Majority to learn how the Fund fits into your region's economic development efforts.
