Starbucks and OFN Support NC's Lending to Create Jobs

Posted on May 22, 2012

NeighborWorks Capital (NC) is excited to announce that it was selected to receive a $100,000 capital grant from the Create Jobs for USA Fund, a collaboration between Starbucks and Opportunity Finance Network (OFN). The Create Jobs for USA funds will help NC to create and sustain jobs in underserved communities throughout the U.S.
 
The grant was made possible by a $5 million seed contribution from the Starbucks Foundation. The Fund has raised an additional $2.5 million and expects to raise tens of millions of dollars more as the Create Jobs for USA Fund is collecting donations at www.CreateJobsforUSA.org and at nearly 7,000 company-operated Starbucks across the country. 100% of the donations will support organizations like NC that are lending for job creation and retention across the U.S. The full press release is available here.
