You Have the Power to Keep a Dream Alive

Every 11 minutes, a small business closes its doors for good. Not because the idea failed — but because access to capital never came.

At CEDS Finance, we serve the underserved and underestimated: refugee chefs, immigrant mechanics, first-generation entrepreneurs, and BIPOC-owned businesses that are too often overlooked by traditional lenders. For many, we are their only chance to launch, grow, or save their business. Without support, the opportunity to build wealth, create jobs, and strengthen their communities slips away.

Your donation breaks down systemic barriers and builds bridges to ownership, stability, and equity.

You’re not just funding a loan. You’re helping someone take control of their future.

CEDS Finance is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. Your donation is fully tax-deductible to the extent allowable by law.
