Services Provided

 

At Community Futures, we are your partners in success, offering dynamic services and program support to ignite the potential of entrepreneurs and small to medium-sized business owners.

As developmental lenders, we break the mold by fostering collaboration, not competition, with traditional financial institutions like banks and credit unions.

But that's not all โ€“ we thrive on synergies! By joining forces with other not-for-profits and community governments, we're not just growing businesses; we're cultivating a vibrant and diverse local economy.

And the best part? Community Futures is more than an organization; we're a vital thread in the rich tapestry of a national economic development program. Since 1986, we've been at the forefront, passionately supporting the growth and prosperity of small businesses and communities nationwide. Let's build the future together!

Community Futures is a part of a national economic development program that has been supporting small business and community economic development since 1986.
