During this virtual Investment Connection pitch session, proposals from service providers in the regions of Virginia and West Virginia will be presented to multiple potential funders. Funders can create an account any time and view these proposals and others in the Investment Connection Funders' Portal. (Proposals for the upcoming pitch session will be viewable after October 26.)

The Richmond Fed's Investment Connection program highlights organizations with community and economic development projects that are potentially eligible for funding or financing under the Community Reinvestment Act. These projects aim to support people and businesses in communities with low and moderate incomes or are distressed or underserved. Selected organizations have a unique opportunity to pitch their proposals to bankers, CDFIs, foundations and other funding entities with similar missions.
