Lending a Hand to Build a Brighter Tomorrow
Let Us Be Your
Lending Hand
We are committed to responsible lending practices and strive to ensure that our loans have a positive and sustainable impact on the lives of our borrowers.
The small business plays an important role in the California State’s economy contributing substantially to job creation and economic growth. Many of these new businesses are launched in the Low Income communities by people of color and women. However, many of these entrepreneurs struggle in securing necessary capital for starting and expanding the business. They often lack equitable access to loan capital, network opportunities with banks.
The National Diversity Coalition has introduced this new project of ‘Lending Hand’ with a mission to provide equitable and inclusive access for LMI and minority entrepreneurs to start and expand their small businesses. We provide financial assistance and opportunities to low income, minority, women and all other entrepreneurs, so they can be a part of California economic development, and strengthen their local communities.
One of the goal of the NDC’s Lending Hand is to increase access to capital and economic opportunities for underbanked communities, and provide accessibility to launch and expand your business, capitalize on the economic opportunities, and slowly transition them into the financial institutions.
Thanks for applying! Please note a non-refundable $130 application fee is due. This fee is a donation to NDC, helping cover the costs of reviewing your application and pulling necessary credit, though it does not guarantee loan approval.
