JOBS Act and Crowdfunding
Wednesday 8/29/12
5:30 - 7:30pm
The Grove
71 Orange Street, New Haven, CT 06511

If you represent a business, community bank, credit union, or economic development entity, you are invited to join me for a meeting with Candace Klein, founder and CEO of SoMoLend and partial author of the JOBS Act. She is expanding her Crowdfunding platform to a pilot program in New Haven, and it will be important for us to have a strong group of lenders willing to participate in this program. Please see this recent article in Forbes on Candace:

I hope you or someone from your organization can attend next Wednesday and learn about this exciting new way for small businesses and lending partners to do business. Additionally, I know that SoMoLend has available time to meet individually with members of the lending community next Wednesday during the day as desired.

I am excited to help bring SoMoLend to New Haven and help jumpstart access to capital for existing business and entrepreneurs.

Best,

Doug

Laying the Cash Tracks for Community Impact

LISC CFO Christina Travers is among the impact investing leaders who contributed commentaries to a new book, The Social Justice Investor, and joined a panel discussion at today’s book launch. In her essay, “Laying the Cash Tracks,” (reprinted here) she explains the evolution of LISC’s capital markets experience—noting how discouraging Wall Street conversations eventually led to transformative, community-focused investments.

Sharing the Story of Social Justice Investing

With the launch of the new book, The Social Justice Investor, LISC’s Christina Travers reflects on the ways that CDFIs have tapped the capital markets to deepen their impact—working to upend lingering misconceptions among some investors. "Whether we are financing affordable housing, small businesses, health, safety, climate resilience, racial equity or jobs, we see financial performance and local impact as part of the same whole."

EPA Awards GRID Alternatives Solar for All Grant

LISC partner GRID Alternatives has been awarded a $249,800,000 Solar for All grant from the EPA to advance renewable and clean energy sources for affordable housing communities across the country. “The grant is an incredible boon to the movement to decarbonize homes and lower energy costs that burden millions of everyday Americans,” said Michael T. Pugh, president and CEO of LISC.
