More than a Decade of Investing in Local Small Businesses

Since our first business loan in 2014, HFL invested over $700,000 into local small businesses, helping them purchase equipment, secure leases, expand services, and open their doors. Read more about applying for a small business loan.

Stories of Impact

Meet Chef Carl, our first business loan borrower and owner of 48th Street Grille.

“It’s one of the most generous, most sincere orgs I’ve ever worked with. They’re passionate about supporting small entrepreneurs.”

Meet Amanda, owner of Tiny Little Pieces Learning Center.

“It wasn’t just the financial piece. It was the ‘yes.’ It was being seen. That one ‘yes’ changed everything.”

Meet Brett, owner of Bart’s Bagels.

“It wasn’t like working with a bank (give me your tax returns, etc.). It seemed like HFL really cared about what was going on.”
