Good Morning CB Family,

For those that don't know...I've moved to micro-blogging in 2010.

To get the latest news and events from your friendly neighborhood Digital Drummer....follow me on Twitter or any of the links below.

Here is today’s Tweet…. $200 Million Dollar Fund for low-income community/business loans. The fund will offer unsecured, interest-only loans. http://bit.ly/bBEB8Y


Communities at Work Fund™

The Communities at Work Fund™ was established to create jobs, drive economic recovery, and provide hope and opportunity to thousands of Americans living in disadvantaged communities.

The Fund will accomplish this goal by making affordable loans available on a timely basis to Community Development Financial Institution (CDFI) loan funds that finance small businesses, not-for-profits, charter schools, and other community service organizations in low-income and low-wealth communities. The Fund will primarily offer unsecured, interest-only loans with terms up to five years to CDFI loan funds and CDFI affiliates participating in the New Markets Tax Credit Program.

The Fund is initially capitalized with $200 million, and is structured as a limited partnership—with Citi as the Limited Partner, and Calvert Foundation and Opportunity Finance Network as General Partners. Calvert Foundation and Opportunity Finance Network will jointly manage the Fund, with Calvert Foundation responsible for managing lending and fund administration and Opportunity Finance Network responsible for marketing and compliance.

Remember, we must share the knowledge (Network)….to share the dollars!
