Meet Daniel Betancourt, President & CEO of Community First Fund and Community First Fund Credit Union. This Hispanic Heritage Month, Dan reflects on the role the Hispanic community has played in his life—from his neighborhood and church to his family, shaping his sense of identity and belonging. Beyond personal experience, this idea of community also fuels his professional mission: “This idea of community has been a significant driver in my professional work with Community First Fund. Our mission is to help disadvantaged individuals build and grow businesses and achieve financial well-being for themselves and their families. We aspire to create, preserve, and grow that same feeling of community for generations to come.” Thank you, Dan, for your dedication to fostering inclusive communities that celebrate identity and opportunity. #LatinxHeritageMonth #CelebraciónDeLaCultura #CommunityImpact #FinancialEmpowerment #LatinxLeaders #HispanicHeritage

?? Transforming Lives and Communities Juanita Edrington-Grant, founder of CRAM, turned to Community First Fund in 2015 to finance the purchase of a former healthcare center. By 2018, this vision became The Harrisburg Uptown Building (HUB), now a vital 18,000 sq. ft. community center. The HUB supports ex-offenders with employment assistance, training, and other essential services, helping them achieve economic stability and reduce recidivism. Thanks to Community First Fund support, Juanita's vision is making a significant impact on the community. ?? https://lnkd.in/gjXtmi7J #communityimpact #ImpactoComunitario #communitydevelopment #InversiónConImpactoSocial
