Loans Awarded
in Fiscal Year 2006
The following list includes loans awarded through
the Southwest Initiative Foundation's (SWIF) Revolving Loan
Fund, the Technology Development Fund, and the USDA Intermediary
Re-Lending Program.
Twelve loans were awarded in Fiscal Year 2006 through these programs, totaling $1,042,601.
The Foundation's loans are administered by Prairieland Economic Development
Corporation (Prairieland EDC) ,
with the exception of the Micro-Enterprise Loan Program. Prairieland
EDC works with loan clients and/or bankers in the development
of applications, review and analysis, closings, and servicing.
The SWIF Loan Programs provide "gap financing" to eligible
businesses. This financing supplements the dollars
provided by financial institutions and investors and strengthens
financial packages. Financing is intended to complement,
not compete, with traditional financing sources. The SWIF
will not participate in a project that can be solely financed
through traditional sources, and it actively solicits and
promotes partnerships with financial institutions in all
projects. |
