NCN Live: Funding for Mission Lenders through SBA’s Community Advantage Program

The Native CDFI Network (NCN) is pleased to announce its next NCN Live webinar, where attendees will learn about funding opportunities through the Community Advantage (CA) program administered by the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA). Designed specifically to support mission lenders such as Native CDFIs, the CA program is described as a “force multiplier” tool to increase access to capital for small businesses and can be particularly in leveraging additional dollars for Clean Communities Investment Accelerator (CCIA)-based lending projects.

Joining NCN Live on Thursday, October 17 at 2:00 p.m. ET to share about the CA program will be Katie Frost, Associate Administrator with SBA’s Office of Capital Access. Frost will provide an overview of how Native CDFIs can become an SBA-approved CA lender as well as the benefits of CA participation for Native CDFIs and the small businesses they serve.
