Small businesses are often told they’re too small to matter.

GNEC has spent 20 years proving otherwise. While most organizations step back from micro-lending, we stepped in, because we believe the entrepreneur with a big idea and a small budget deserves the same attention as anyone else.

Victor Salama, GNEC’s Executive Director, shares what that commitment looks like and where it’s taking us next. Because when small and underserved businesses have the support they need, entire communities benefit.
