INFORMATION FOR SMALL BUSINESSES
The documents below were put together by state agencies for small business to see what kinds of opportunities there are through the American Reinvestment and Recovery Act (ARRA). Not all are final lists, and as more information becomes available we will post it here. All documents listed below are in Adobe PDF format.
First State Community Loan Fund
Community Development Financial Institution
The stimulus bill is making new funds available to Delaware’s First State Community Loan Fund, which is Delaware’s primary Community Development Financial Institution. The First State Community Loan Fund’s goal is to use proven business strategies in a new and innovative way, providing low-interest loans and business advice to community-based organizations and entrepreneurs in low-income communities.
The First State Community Loan Fund offers loans to organizations—including many non-profits—that might not otherwise qualify for credit from traditional banks. The new stimulus funds will allow the First State Community Loan Fund to expand its lending to new organizations.
For more information please contact First State Community Loan Fund at 302-652-6774.
