Impacto AND the Hispanic Loan Fund

As part of our commitment to Cleveland’s Latino/Hispanic community, JumpStart launched Impacto, a Spanish-language small business education program. Through two cohorts, 12 entrepreneurs received assistance creating business plans and projections.

Additionally, JumpStart ramped up the Hispanic Loan Fund, which provides financing opportunities of up to $20K for those who qualify. To date, $240,000 has been provided to 12 Latino/Hispanic-led companies.
