The E-Community Partnership has hit a major milestone! We've successfully reached over 1,000 E-Community loans totaling a whopping $32.4 Million! 💰 🎇 What's even more exciting? 46% of these loans have been made in communities with less than 5,000 people. This is a testament to our E-Community leadership teams, financial review boards, resource partners and NetWork Kansas staff for a strong commitment to supporting entrepreneurship, local empowerment, and economic development.
