🙏With Thanksgiving just around the corner, we can't help but think about what it is we're thankful for. And for so many entrepreneurs, a local non-profit comes to mind. Meet Renaissance, a CDFI and SBA Microlender dedicated to transforming low-to-moderate income communities and under-resourced entrepreneurs in the New York and New Jersey Metro Area by providing affordable small business loans, free training and counseling services. We sat down with Renaissance for an insightful conversation about their vision, culture, initiatives, how they empower the community, and most importantly, their newest loan fund: Small Business SNAP/EBT Emergency Loan Fund. A powerhouse, Renaissance's motto is: Renaissance: Making Business Dreams Come True Since 1997 🙏 Visit the link below to read more about Renaissance.
