Our Story
WE START IN PANDEMIC
While all small businesses felt the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the economic consequences were not equal for every entrepreneur. An urgent response was needed to address the disparity in how businesses could access relief capital.

GROWING TOGETHER
A Tulsa nonprofit took action by teaming up with community partners and securing private donations to start the Mi Gente Fund in December 2020. This emergency loan program aimed to support local businesses and keep them going through the pandemic.

THE LOCAL SUPPORT
This emergency loan program aimed to support local businesses and keep them going through the pandemic. The loan fund provided $450,000 in zero-interest loans to 76 small businesses that were either ineligible for or unable to access federal pandemic assistance.

AVANZANDO JUNTOS
We became an independent 501(c)(3) in 2022, absorbing the Mi Gente Loan Fund to create a more inclusive economy in Tulsa. Avanzando Juntos is now an ecosystem of resources for entrepreneurs, providing access to capital, business education, and mentoring.
