Circle Foundation Announces Inaugural CDFI Grants to Accion Opportunity Fund
We’re proud to share that Circle Foundation has named Accion Opportunity Fund among the recipients of its first-ever domestic grants, announced at the Clinton Global Initiative Annual Meeting.
Circle Foundation’s support helps us build Credit Compass 2.0, a next-generation tool that connects loan applicants with personalized financial education, giving small business owners a clear picture of where they stand and a practical roadmap to reach the capital they need. Our data shows the power of this approach: applicants who engage with our educational resources are 84% more likely to qualify for a loan.
We’re honored to be recognized alongside Pacific Community Ventures, reflecting Circle Foundation’s focus on the technology and infrastructure that help mission-driven lenders reach further.
