If you're deep into a search for a microloan program or a
specialized financing institution to help you fund an
economic-development-type business, be sure to check out the
Association for Enterprise Opportunity's Web site at www.microenterpriseworks.org.
For your convenience, institutions and programs are listed
alphabetically or by state and include contact addresses, phone
numbers and, where available, Internet links.
In addition, under the "Resources & Links"
section, you can find several Web sites of national organizations
that provide financing services. For example, links are provided to
the Community Development Venture Capital Alliances and The
Coalition of Community Development Financial Institutions-two
groups that provide business financing and investments in an
economic-development context.
