Greater Newark Enterprises

GNEC is a non-profit Community Development Financial Institution (CDFI) developed in 2005, and much more. We are the first step for entrepreneurs who cannot secure financial support from a bank. Plus, we offer access to professional resources to help start-ups launch or established firms achieve their goals. We help entrepreneurs grow economically stable businesses by helping them secure access to capital. We believe that providing entrepreneurs with resources about how to secure capital is critical to closing the racial funding gap and helping them become bankable. We have offered over $3,500,000 in loans and counting, and about 4,000 clients served.
