ACE | Access to Capital for Entrepreneurs

ACE received a $500,000 investment from Synovus for its Recovery and Resilience Program. The program supports ACE’s continued efforts to provide diverse and flexible capital solutions and educational resources to Black, Indigenous, and people of color (BIPOC) women and low-income-owned businesses in Georgia. This investment allows nonprofit community development financial institutions like ACE to raise capital with features that behave like an equity investment, improving the organization’s economic strength. #acecdfi #accesstocapital #smallbusinesses #entrepreneur #bipoc

Juneteenth, officially recognized as a federal holiday in 2021, marks the emancipation of enslaved African Americans and is a powerful symbol of freedom and resilience. For African Americans across the USA, Juneteenth represents a time to honor their history, reflect on progress, and continue striving for equality and justice. At ACE, we are dedicated to supporting the economic empowerment and growth of African American entrepreneurs and small business owners. As we celebrate Juneteenth, let's commit to uplifting and fostering a more inclusive and equitable business community. #Juneteenth #FreedomDay #acecdfi #Equality #SupportSmallBusinesses
