First Southwest Community Fund (FSWCF) provides low interest, flexible, and accessible loan programs, grants, and technical assistance to rural entrepreneurs, start-ups, small businesses, and nonprofits. FSWCF provides access to inclusive capital, especially for women, Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC), and veteran-owned businesses. Our capital can serve entrepreneurs as both standalone financing and participatory financing in conjunction with other funders.
First Southwest Community Fund supports the dedicated entrepreneurial spirit of rural Colorado by investing in the people, culture and ideas that fuel innovation and financial knowledge in our community, with an emphasis in areas of greatest need.
If we support rural startups, nonprofits and small business owners, who have been traditionally under resourced, through access to capital and resources, then we will enable sustainable, thriving rural communities as measured through improved social, economic and environmental outcomes.
