First Southwest Community Fund

FSWCF is a 501c3 nonprofit that supports the dedicated entrepreneurial spirit of rural Colorado, by investing in the people, culture and ideas that fuel innovation and financial knowledge in our community, with an emphasis on areas of greatest need. FSWCF was founded in 2015 by First Southwest Bank (FSWB), one of Colorado’s two CDFI banks, to be a gap-funder that provides access to capital for those who would not otherwise be able to secure it. As FSWCF has grown, we have seen the need for more equitable and inclusive access to capital for our rural entrepreneurs and business owners. We strive to provide a range of innovative financial services including loan and grant programs to enable them to succeed and improve quality of life for our communities. Currently, FSWCF serves all of rural Colorado with a focus Southern and Southwestern Counties. More information can be found here: www.fswcf.org.
