Starbucks and Opportunity Finance Network made an announcement last month about the creation of a new organization, Create Jobs For USA, that would establish a fund that they started with $5,000,000. Joe Nocera covered it in his October 17 opinion piece, and it’s generating a lot of talk and support already. For a $5 donation, you can receive a wristband that will allow you to show your support for this Community Development Finance Institutions (CDFI) backed effort to bring money to under-served community businesses.
Well, it officially opened for business on November 1, 2011. Find out more at their site or follow them on Twitter.
