SMALL BUSINESS BACKERS
WESST is at a pivotal point. Like many other nonprofits and community partners, we’re navigating uncertainty around federal funding and what next steps look like for us as an organization. We’re streamlining our services in order to better address statewide needs, removing geographical boundaries.
Funding might be uncertain, but our commitment to community isn't. Claudia secured a $25,000 loan through our lending program, allowing her expand her home child care business and build a space where children could learn and grow for years to come. Help WESST uplift small business owners like Claudia, the backbone of our local economies.
Join us as a monthly donor in our New Mexico Small Business Backer campaign, so that we can continue to see our community grow and thrive.
