SmallBiz Connect

​Growth is a collective effort. This May, in honor of National Small Business Month, the Latino Economic Development Center (LEDC) invites you to SmallBiz Connect, an evening of networking, celebration, and community building.

​We are excited to celebrate an important milestone in LEDC’s mission to empower local entrepreneurs as we officially welcome new small business borrowers into the LEDC lending family through the expansion of the Freedom Fund, in partnership with the Freedom Foundation.

​This gathering is designed to bring together entrepreneurs, partners, supporters, and community leaders to celebrate the resilience, vision, and hard work of the small businesses that help shape and strengthen our local economy.

​Join us for networking and happy hour as we celebrate entrepreneurship and reaffirm our commitment to expanding access to capital, coaching, relationships, and the community support entrepreneurs need to grow and thrive.

We are grateful to the Greater Washington Community Foundation and NALCAB for helping make this work possible.
