Investment Connection LIVE - Maryland
During this live Investment Connection virtual pitch session, seven proposals from service providers in Maryland will be presented to multiple potential funders. Funders can create an account and view these proposals and others in the Investment Connection Funders' Portal. This year, in light of the global pandemic, projects focused on COVID-19 response such as housing, food security, digital access and workforce development are highlighted.
Through the Richmond Fed's Investment Connection program, organizations with community and economic development projects that are potentially eligible for funding under the Community Reinvestment Act and support low and moderate income populations and small businesses have a unique opportunity to pitch their proposals to bankers, CDFIs, foundations and other funding entities with similar missions.
Interested lenders can view the details of each proposal on the online portal or by clicking the links in the agenda below.
