“FundingHope, LLC is one of the good things that came out of Covid,” says the company’s founder, Dorian Dickinson. “Prior to Covid, I was doing rural development and economic development work, mostly in conflict zones and developing countries.” “When Covid hit, my business went from 100 to 0 in about 48 hours,” he says. He began thinking about how he could deploy his experience abroad here at home. “It always circled back to funding,” Dorian says. The key being, his experience showed, “funding that really hit the ground really reached the people most in need in communities that could then drive economic development activity in their community.” Success in a community doesn’t stop there. “That then would expand regionally,” he says. “At the end of the day, it would create a safer, healthier, cleaner environment for all.” Today, Funding Hope is live, FINRA-registered and taking funding applications. He has a message for investors: These communities that we're working in, which are distressed, at-risk in rural zip codes across America, are ripe with potential, but they're starving for capital. This is an opportunity for us to connect everyday investors to these small business owners, entrepreneurs and innovators who are also contributing to sustainability. Our target [investors] are committed to helping achieve UN Sustainable development goals in these communities because, at the end of the day, we're going to end up with safer, healthier, cleaner communities. Dorian has developed impact in his career by deploying a triple cocktail of superpowers, perseverance, humility and empathy. http://230815.s4g.biz #ImpactCrowdfunding #DiverseFounders #SocialEntrepreneurs #CommunityCapital #ImpactInvestors #RIC #InvestmentCrowdfunding

Our Inaugural EOCF Newsletter is now available.... Empowering Communities through Capital We're excited to bring you the first edition of LISC’s Entrepreneurs of Color Fund (EOCF) newsletter and share the latest highlights of how the program supports communities of color–and the entrepreneurs who serve them–through access to capital. We have come a long way since EOCF first launched in Detroit in 2015. With 24 CDFI partners in 10 cities today, our shared goal is to eliminate the racial wealth gap and provide equitable opportunities for entrepreneurs who serve communities of color. We’ve made important strides to reach that goal: to date, the program has deployed 6,500 loans totaling $329.5 million, fostering growth and success for BIPOC-owned small businesses. In 2024, we are focusing our work to better address the persistent capital access gap, and to provide larger loans for small businesses serving communities of color. In this inaugural newsletter, you’ll find success stories from around the country and learn about lending trends our partners are seeing in their markets. Thank you for your continued partnership in making EOCF a force for positive change. Together, we are transforming communities and building a more inclusive, equitable future for all.
