Hiawatha Revolving Loan Fund

The Hiawatha Revolving Loan Fund is a federally funded loan pool with flexible terms, including the potential for below market interest rates. Loans are sized based on need, ability to repay, and expected job creation, with a desired ratio of $10,000 per job. An emphasis on hiring people who live in the area, as well as people who were previously low income or unemployed would make applicants especially competitive. Loans are made on a pipeline basis as funds are available. We are accepting applications now from interested businesses that expect to increase employment in the Greater Longfellow area. Contact Renee Spillum for more information or to get an application at renee@redesigninc.org.
