Micro-Loan Recovery Program

In response to the unprecedented challenges facing businesses in Philadelphia, we partnered with Bryn Mawr Trust, Customers Bank, OceanFirst Bank and WSFS to create the Micro-Loan Recovery Program. This program was created to help small businesses in the City of Philadelphia in need of financial assistance to reopen their businesses.

The Micro-Loan Recovery Program is now closed, but its impact continues. Through the program a total of 21 loans were provided totaling $525,000. Examples of Philadelphia small business recipients include a flower shop, barber shop, restaurant, bakery and bookstore – all integral parts of the communities they serve. Thanks to the banks who partnered with us on this program. We were proud to be able to provide these micro loans as a lifeline to small business in Philadelphia.
