Kentucky Highlands provides access to capital to small businesses located in its economically distressed and persistent poverty rural Appalachian service area.
We are a CDFI focused on small business lending. We are giving people who deserve a shot at the American dream – but can’t get it because big banks don’t do small business loans or character loans anymore. Small businesses are important sources of jobs, income and innovation.
The CDFI funds are critical to supporting entrepreneurs start up new small businesses which are the backbone of our economy. Without this funding, new jobs cannot be created and local tax bases will not grow. Please support small businesses!
As an emerging CDFI offering funding and technical assistance to uplift underserved communities and our economy the CDFI appropriation is imperative.
