JUST Community
JUST invests in female and minority entrepreneurs to create more resilient communities. We have reimagined global microfinance for the United States by recruiting, training, and supporting entrepreneur leaders to self-organize their own small business support groups. JUST then provides a holistic program of capital, coaching, and community. In Central Texas, we made more than 6,000 loans totaling more than $10M with a 99% repayment rate. We are just getting started.
