Our microenterprise program is the 21st century equivalent of our loans to pushcart peddlers in a bygone era. The goal of this program is to help borrowers establish or expand a small business as a path to economic security. We target immigrants from the Former Soviet Union and the ultra-Orthodox community – both among the most economically vulnerable Jewish populations in New York. This program provides:
- Loans up to $25,000 that must be repaid within up to five years
- Culturally sensitive, locally sited core business training
- Pre- and post-loan technical assistance, including help in writing a business plan
