Small Business Majority
Small Business Majority is a national small business advocacy organization, founded and run by small business owners to ensure America's entrepreneurs are a key part of a thriving and inclusive economy. We actively engage small business owners and policymakers in support of public policy solutions, and deliver information and resources to entrepreneurs that promote small business growth and drive a strong, sustainable job-creating economy. Our extensive scientific opinion polling, focus groups and economic research help us educate and inform policymakers, the media and other stakeholders about key issues impacting small businesses and freelancers, including healthcare, access to capital, taxes, retirement, paid leave and other workforce issues.

Opportunity Fund
Remember when hard work and perseverance went a long way towards getting ahead? Today, despite working overtime, countless diligent Americans are struggling to make ends meet.

Fostering entrepreneurship in low-income communities is a proven path to prosperity. Access to even relatively small loans helps people make lasting changes in their own lives and in the communities they serve. But capital from traditional financial institutions is not always available. Over 8,000 small business loans are denied every day.
In many cases, their commercial ventures are profitable. Business plans are solid. They work long hours and employ others in the community. All that’s needed to achieve the dream of financial stability is access to the capital they need to sustain or grow their small business.
That’s where Opportunity Fund comes in. We provide loans to low- and moderate-income immigrants, women, and other deserving, but underserved small business owners. We’ve seen firsthand the ripple effect of such loans. Businesses grow, jobs are added, healthier communities and families thrive.
Let’s come together and make the world a fairer place, one loan at a time.
