You've heard us talk a lot about how hard it is for social enterprises to raise $$ for core costs. We're all too familiar with this ourselves at White Box. We've recently joined forces with LendForGood to raise additional funds for more solar panels and sustainability equipment for Beacon Laundry. We're just shy of $50K right now and are calling for more 'lenders'. The best part about the LendForGood model is anyone can be a lender .. the buy-in is just $500 with an 8% return (... better than any Term Deposit rate right now). Check it out. https://lnkd.in/gMgeYZQz
