Why This Matters

We invest in companies like yours to bring jobs and opportunities to communities that have historically lacked access to investment capital. The data you provide helps us demonstrate to policymakers and investors that these programs work: they create real
jobs, build stronger communities, and drive economic growth.

When we can show concrete results—jobs created, wages increased, communities strengthened—it helps us secure renewals for existing programs and launch new ones. Your company’s growth is more than a success story: it’s proof that smart investments
lead to lasting change.
