“Disbursing $4 billion in loan capital stands as a monumental achievement—a testament to the dedication of our staff, members, and partners. While we take pride in this accomplishment, we recognize an ongoing and substantial need for affordable financial services on a national level.
We are proud to offer access to affordable capital without barriers like collateral or credit history and witness the tremendous impact these investments have on women’s economic mobility, their children’s lives, and community development.”
