The New Roots Fund's mission is to create viable businesses in low income neighborhoods through a highly capable lending institution by providing loans and business technical assistance. We are a 501c3 nonprofit and are committed to delivering our services to all people, regardless of ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation or national origin.
By helping these entrepreneurs achieve self-sufficiency, New Roots Fund positively affects the economy of the community and our region. Our services reach an underserved population who possess a passion for self-determination and business.
