OFN Small Business Finance Forum
Opportunity Finance Network’s (OFN) Small Business Finance Forum takes place during a global pandemic when CDFIs—America’s financial first responders—are working tirelessly to provide COVID-19 relief and recovery assistance to small businesses across the country. It is in this context that OFN, a national network of nearly 300 CDFIs, offers an opportunity for the industry’s small business community to come together virtually to support, inspire, and learn from each other. Now in its ninth year, the Forum will place a primary focus on COVID-19 short-term relief and long-term recovery efforts for small businesses, as well as the long-term sustainability of CDFIs.
Featured Presenter: On Tuesday, June 16, from 2:00-3:00PM ET, NALCAB Executive Director Noel Poyo will serve as a presenter in the session titled “Inequality in the Pandemic: Entrepreneurs of Color,” to discuss the issues as well as the solutions CDFIs are implementing to help ensure small businesses survive the pandemic and share equally in the recovery.
