Community Micro Lending

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Blue Heron Advisory Group has been a proud sponsor of Community MicroLending since 2013. Community Micro Lending makes loans to people who have a good idea and the ability to carry it out, but don't qualify for credit at a bank. They work with people to develop a business plan and budget. Applicants make pitches the Community MicroLendings loan committee and it's usually an inspiring hour of Q and A. The loan committee deliberates and if it approves the loan, they post a profile on their lending page describing the applicant and the business. People read about the business and make a loan right there. Canada's first online peer-to-peer micro lending! Lenders can lend a minimum of $500 and when the loan is fully raised they disburse it to the borrower. The borrower repays Community Micro Lending and they repay the lender. And the local economy flourishes.

 

Neil sits on our Victoria Branch Miracle Day Committee and spearheads many initiatives throughout the entire year. In 2014, our Victoria branch raised $285,192.27 in trading commissions, fee based revenues and cash donations and every dollar will be directed to children's charities right here in our community. This also brings our branch running total to over $1 million raised since 2003.
