New Seasons Partner Fund

New Seasons is setting aside 1% of the sales from Partner Brand products to create a loan program called the Partner Fun. The grocer makes small loans in the $5k - $25k available to local businesses 2yrs and older who could do business with New Seasons (though it’s not required that they do). The Partner Fund will give businesses the ability to grow and thrive alongside New Seasons.

These loans are intended as capacity/growth loans, and New Seasons is targeting businesses that are owned by historically disenfranchised business leaders and innovators: women, people of color, immigrants, individuals with disabilities, and those that identify with the LGBTQIA community.
