Comunidad Maya Pixan Ixim (CMPI) empowers Indigenous immigrant #entrepreneurs by providing business development support and culturally supportive services at the same time. This unique approach means that not only are Indigenous immigrants accessing training in marketing and accounting but they’re also offered Maya language classes and services that allow them to stay anchored to their heritage as they gain an economic foothold in their new country. CMPI is creating an community where financial autonomy and entrepreneurial success is intertwined with cultural and personal success. The organization is one of 10 organizations serving rural refugees and immigrants that make up the WES-funded Rural Immigrant Success Exchange (RISE) network, managed by Jobs for the Future (JFF).

Embracing immigration is crucial to countering population decline and enriching our neighborhoods. The Welcoming Center is one such organization in #Philadelphia supporting #immigrants with English language education and job support. “If leaders believe that a growing population is something they want to aspire to — if they want to preserve a tax base, if they want new business startups — then they need to understand this is all going to happen through immigration,” says The Welcoming Center CEO Anuj Gupta.

Our partner, the IRC's Center for Economic Opportunity (CEO) recently released a report that analyzes credit scores for those participating in its “Credit-Building Ladder” model and loan program. The report serves as a compelling case for the integrated model of financial products and programs being implemented by CEO and its network of community partners. The findings also underscore the potential for small-dollar loan products to quickly generate significant positive outcomes, especially for those without a credit history. This report will help inform policymakers, financial institutions, funders, community-based organizations, researchers, borrowers, and more.
