Accessing Capital for Creative Small Businesses: Small Business Source Community Financial Institutions

Arts Alliance Illinois is a new Cook County Small Business Source referral partner. Join us September 8th for a webinar highlighting Cook County Small Business Source’s Community Financial Institutions (CFIs), whose services and capital access are designed to meet the needs of small businesses (less than 20 employees) and micro businesses (less than 10).

Sasha Ongtengco, Creative Workforce Program Director with Arts Alliance Illinois, will provide a Cook County Small Business Source program overview. She’ll be joined by Brianna Tellis, Senior Community Lender with Allies for Community Business (A4CB), to share more about the services they provide as a Cook County Small Business Source Community Financial Institution (CFI), as well as its other innovative programs and initiatives. We’ll also feature Kristi Mosbey, owner of Kenwood School of Dance, a creative small business supported by A4CB to share about their entrepreneurial journey and insights from working with A4CB and other community partners to grow their creative vision.
