Dear Friends~ 
 
I'm delighted to announce the release of our 2022 Impact Report!
 
Year after year, we continue to expand our programs, offering low interest, flexible, and accessible loans; grants; and technical assistance through workshops & partnerships to rural entrepreneurs, start-ups, small businesses, and nonprofits. Our goal is to help more entrepreneurs achieve their goals and have a positive impact on their communities.
 
In 2022, together with First Southwest Bank, our organizations invested a total of $104,574,449 in 217 businesses in Colorado. Read more about our impact below.
 
In other news, we have been nominated for the Spirit of Alamosa award and need your vote! I've shared details about the award and a link to vote below. Thank you in advance for your vote!
Please join me in giving a warm welcome to our two new board members: Jason Medina and Tanya Perea Doose. I have included a brief amount of information below about each of them with a link to view their full bio.
 
Let us help you grow your business. If you are the owner of an existing business in rural Colorado you may be eligible for our Climber Loan Program. The program is highlighted below with a link to program information on our website.
 
Finally, the Small Business Majority is offering a webinar on April 5th we are co-sponsoring focused on creating positive change in the workplace for individuals affected by addiction. This is offered in both English and Spanish, the link to register is below.
 
Please reach out to me at azarelmc@fswcf.org if you have questions about any of our loans, grants or education programs. Thanks for reading and sharing our work.
 
In gratitude,
