100% of your money is invested in under-served communities and local economic development Your CNote dollars fund community development projects and are invested in women and minority-led businesses that are often ignored by traditional financial institutions. Because of you, women like Maria and Julie have the opportunity to support their families – and their futures.
CNote provides quarterly liquidity to ensure your dollars are accessible when you need them. CNote is a medium-term savings option, not your daily ATM. You can access up to 20K each quarter. Our quarterly access is intentional – to help you save better and to provide responsible capital to small businesses.
Social impact means investing in women, minorities and low-income communities. Today in the U.S., minorities are 3x as likely to get denied a small business loan. Women receive less than 5% of all small business capital. With CNote, you are helping create a new financial reality, one where everyone has fair access to capital and an equal opportunity for financial empowerment.
My first thought was, ‘What’s the catch?’ But there isn’t one. I am their biggest fan.
