Every dollar matters.
While small businesses may be considered the economic engines of our communities, their inability to access credit can hinder them from even opening their doors. We believe that by investing in local economic development, we can help build a more vibrant, secure Evanston community.
As demand for LEND’s loans and services grows, we continue to grow our capital base. Because we are a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit entity, we depend entirely on the generosity of donors to increase our capability to serve the Evanston community.
Your donation fuels compounding impact.
LEND is built upon a sustainable model: every loan paid back is reissued in the form of new loans.
Your contribution of any amount today will support numerous businesses and lives for years to come.
