We’re thrilled that this year’s Annual Luncheon will focus on the impact investing economy. Investing capital and resources for social benefits alongside financial returns has the promise to change the way we do business…for the better!
PCV has been an impact investor for over 15 years, first with our affiliated equity fund, Pacific Community Management, and then with our Small Business Advising Integrated Lending Fund (SAIL Fund). Our investments in small businesses that are located in or hiring from lower-income communities are helping these companies to sustainably scale and create jobs in neighborhoods that need them most.
Our SAIL Fund provides entrepreneurs with access to affordable loans between $50,000 and $200,000, and then matches these borrowers with expert-level business advisors that they can work with to ensure the success of the loan. Entrepreneurs can also work with PCV Advisors during the application process, and on any other small business issue during the loan period whether it’s marketing, hiring, strategic planning, or anything else!
By integrating capital and advice, PCV’s SAIL Fund offers a more impactful small business loan to small businesses located in California. In 2013, SAIL borrowers created 56 new jobs and maintained over 100 jobs. These numbers prove that PCV’s financial investments are creating positive social benefits in communities across the state!
If you’re interested in learning more about how impact investing creates jobs, we invite you to register for our Annual Luncheon happening on Tuesday, April 22. Register today, as this event sells out every year!
