AS AN ALTERNATIVE LENDER, OUR FUND IS TAILORED TO APPLICANTS WHO HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO OBTAIN FINANCING FROM TRADITIONAL SOURCES AT THE LEVEL REQUIRED BY THE VENTURE. THE TARGET APPLICANT IS INDEPENDENTLY OWNED AND OPERATED, AND GENERALLY HAS QUALIFIED AS A SMALL BUSINESS PURSUANT TO THE SBA SIZE STANDARDS BASED UPON DOLLAR VOLUME AND THE NUMBER OF ITS EMPLOYEES. APPLICANTS MUST HAVE SALES OF LESS THAN $10 MILLION. FINANCING IS AVAILABLE FROM $1,000 TO $300,000. SPECIAL CONSIDERATION FOR THE LOAN FUND PRODUCT IS GIVEN TO MEETING THE NEEDS OF WOMEN AND MINORITY-OWNED BUSINESSES. OUR FEDERAL CERTIFICATION INCLUDES A SPECIFIC FOCUS ON BLACK-OWNED BUSINESSES.

THROUGHOUT THE PANDEMIC, WE PARTNERED WITH FEDERAL, STATE, AND LOCAL GOVERNMENTAL UNITS TO PROVIDE FOCUSED ASSISTANCE AND GUIDANCE ON ACCESS TO NEWLY AVAILABLE BUSINESS RESOURCES.THIS DEDICATION CONTINUED IN 2022 AND 2023 AS OUR SERVICE GEOGRAPHY OF MOSTLY MINORITY OWNED ENTITIES RECOVERED IN VERY SLOW FASHION FROM PANDEMIC RESTRICTIONS. THESE BUSINESSES REQUIRE SPECIAL ATTENTION SINCE THEY TYPICALLY DID NOT HAVE ADEQUATE CASH RESERVES, LACKED ACCESS TO EXPERTISE, AND COULD NOT MOVE THEIR BUSINESSES ONLINE DURING THE LOCKDOWNS.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.
