Fund 17

About

Fund 17 is a non-profit organization that provides financial opportunity, education, and empowerment to micro-entrepreneurs in all 17 wards of New Orleans.

Story

Nearly 40% of New Orleans is not properly served by financial institutions (BankOn).That’s 51,000 households without necessary access to savings, loans, and credit.

What if the world of finance, seemingly part of the problem, could be utilized for the advancement of everyone, regardless of income level? At Fund 17, we believe that every New Orleanian deserves equal opportunity to success. We offer micro-loans of up to $1,500 and goal-based technical assistance to help local entrepreneurs succeed.

Mission

To combat opportunity inequality in all seventeen wards of New Orleans by providing financial tools for self-empowerment to micro-entrepreneurs.

I visited this non/profit organization for a Capital One Credit 101 Class for your business and I wasn't disappointed. Friendly folks greeted you as you entered and with snacks to boot; that's always a PLUS!!!! Clean, spacious NEW-CONSTRUCTION SMELLING facility, all set up to inform and educate the community. This is an all around WIN-WIN!!!! On this night, the presenter was from Capital One, Ms Debra Graham, she was very thorough in her presentation. She took questions, even if they were premature to her slideshow presentation. She was captivating and lively; love how she brought home her examples by making it personal. I understand there are other classes, such as entrepreneurial workshops, budget classes etc that are administered a couple times a week. I understand most of these classes/workshops are free of charge. You can't beat FREE!!!!! I plan to return soak up more knowledge & share the wealth like I'm doing now.
