Helping Families, Communities & Businesses Thrive

Access to flexible financing and practical resources helps power opportunity and long-term growth throughout the region.

For decades, West Central Initiative has provided capital to borrowers across the region. We’ve expanded our loan program to serve restaurants, bars, newspapers, nonprofits, and small-scale farmers and introduced new options, such as low-interest child care loans. Guided by our strategic priorities and the Sustainable Development Goals, loans are one of many ways we support families, communities, organizations, and businesses across the region.

Since 1986, we’ve distributed approximately $62 million in loans in our region.
