North Edge Receives $68,000 from Wells Fargo to Help Local Small Businesses

California Finance Consortium team with grant from Wells Fargo
Ross was leaving to drive to meet the rest of the CFC team when we had our 7.0 earthquake in Eureka, so he opted to stay back and assess if there was any damage or needs. His friends at the CFC couldn't have a photo without him, so here’s a photo of everyone, Ross included!

We're excited to share that North Edge, in partnership with the California Finance Consortium (CFC), has received a part of a $300,000 grant from Wells Fargo. This money is aimed at helping small businesses in 13 Northern California counties, including ours in Humboldt.


Wells Fargo is giving this grant to empower local communities and foster economic

growth by supporting small businesses. Alongside partners like 3CORE, Superior California Economic Development, and Yuba-Sutter Economic Development Corporation, North Edge will use its $68,000 share to assist small businesses in our area.


This funding will help local businesses create solid business plans, manage their money better, and grow their operations. It will also make more money available to lend to these businesses so they can do more and succeed.


Brynda Stranix, the head of CFC, is excited about what this means for our area: "This grant will significantly enhance our ability to provide small businesses with the tools and resources they need to thrive, ultimately contributing to the economic vitality of our communities."


Kären Woodruff, Senior Vice president, highlighted the importance of supporting small businesses: “We recognize the crucial role small businesses play in driving economic growth and creating jobs…Our support of the [CFC] is a testament to our commitment to helping small businesses succeed and our dedication to strengthening the economic fabric of Northern California.”


Thanks to Wells Fargo's ongoing efforts, including their Open for Business Fund, around 461,000 jobs have been kept or created nationwide. We at North Edge are proud to be a part of this effort to boost business and create jobs right here at home.
