Launched in 2023, C-DEE draws on the Community Loan Fund’s experience connecting local businesses with the financing and coaching they need to thrive.
This year, businesses may apply for up to $5,000 to be used for:
• Computer hardware and software
• Professional Services such as bookkeeping and digital marketing
