Take a Look at Our 2016 Annual Impact Report!

Every business that starts or grows—whether a Washington County farm, a New Mainer’s new business in Portland, a solar array in Massachusetts or a peanut processing facility in Georgia—generates a ripple effect of greater self-sufficiency, resilience and economic mobility. We are honored to share the economic journey of people and businesses in rural regions, and to help create jobs, environmental sustainability, and shared prosperity. We welcome your engagement in, and support for, our work.

Scroll through our 2016 Impact Report and let us know what you think!
