2025/2026 was one for the books! It was one of the biggest and most successful years in our history as we enter our 40th year as an organization, and none of it would have been possible without the incredible support of our community. Together, we helped entrepreneurs access the resources they need to launch and grow their businesses.
As you explore this year’s highlights, you’ll see the results of what can be achieved when community partners, business owners, and supporters come together with a shared vision. From record-breaking lending activity to continued investment in programs that support local businesses, we saw so much growth, opportunity, and success.
“Supporting these entrepreneurs remains at the heart of our work. This past year marked our largest lending year ever, with more businesses accessing the capital they need to start, grow, and succeed. These investments are helping to create and sustain jobs while building confidence across our business community.”
– Andrew Graham, Board Chair
We are so grateful to everyone who contributed to this remarkable year.
