Pilot Phase Update
Thursday, March 26, 2009
CGF is currently in the process of reviewing applications for citizenship loans. Our loan officers have been working tirelessly to meet with potential clients to help them fill out their applications and to provide additional information on CGF’s services. We have also initiated the business loan phase of our pilot. We have distributed our business loan applications to our community partners, where interested individuals with business ideas will have an opportunity to apply for $500-$3,000 to start or expand their enterprises. Already, a number of small businesses in Providence have contacted us for more information on the borrowing process. Our team is very excited to get both the citizenship and business loans out to our clients in the coming weeks!

Now that we are on the cusp of beginning our microloan pilot phase, we feel it is important to keep our donors, supporters and community partners abreast of the latest developments in our programs. We intend to do that through this news page, our blog, and also through a monthly newsletter. Today we are thrilled to announce the release of our first newsletter, which can be downloaded below (PDF). Please forward the Newsletter to anyone you know that might be interested in microfinance, and look for our next newsletter next month—by then we will have made our first round of loans!
