“I have grown so much, and I have so much more confidence. I can’t wait for my future!”

Like the entrepreneurs we serve, RMMFI has a lot to look forward to in 2022. But before the year ends, we wanted to celebrate a few highlights from our 2021 programs:

  • 90 entrepreneurs completed Business Idea Lab, laying strong personal and business foundations. Of those 90, 80% feel very confident about the success of their business idea after finishing the program.
  • 49 entrepreneurs graduated from Business Launch Boot Camp, including at two new sites serving rural and Spanish-speaking communities. 94% of those boot camp grads feel they have supportive mentors they can go to for advice and guidance moving forward.
  • $159,371 in loans was invested in people and businesses that are activating their potential and making our economy healthy, vibrant, and resilient.

With long-term investments in people and communities, we are creating impact that will last through generations. Thank you for your ongoing support of inclusive entrepreneurship, and Happy New Year from all of us at RMMFI!
