Imagine you’re a small business owner here in Georgia. Business is going well, and your customers are happy. Because of the increased demand, you realize you need some help. You’ve added new employees to the team and hope to expand to a bigger office space. Your current office is too small to fit your growing team. There’s a new office space that you are interested in moving to, but you know you need some funding to support purchasing it. You begin doing some research about different business loans, especially those that cater to marginalized entrepreneurs. You believe that the new office space can be a reality and you just need the right help.

The GoATL Fund, the impact-investing arm of the Community Foundation for Greater AtlantaCommunity Foundation for Greater Atlanta, is launching a new platform called GoGeorgia Capital to provide that help. GoGeorgia Capital simplifies and improves the process to connect marginalized small business owners across Georgia to mission-focused capital that best fits their strategic needs.
