Expanding Economic Opportunity
Supporting newcomers’ path to self-sufficiency
Opening Doors’ Economic Prosperity Programs offer microenterprise loans and business counseling to immigrants and refugees with limited credit history or who are unfamiliar with mainstream financial institutions to build their financial education, financial capability, and increase their assets and earning potential. Opening Doors is Sacramento’s only Community Development Financial Institution (CDFI) specializing in microlending to newcomer communities.
In partnership with Los Rios Community College District, we also provide support to immigrants and refugees to help plan and start careers in Health, Business, Early Childhood Education, Entrepreneurship, and Information Technology.
