Investment Connection is a program that introduces public and private funders in the regions served by the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond to proposals from community-based organizations and small businesses that benefit low- and moderate-income, distressed and underserved communities.
The Community Development team hosted an Investment Connection Pitch Session at Howard University in mid-October and connected organizations with CRA-eligible projects to potential CDFI funding. Read more about the pitch session.
