SUMMARY:The Money They Didn't Tell You About: A Fireside Chat on Funding Mo
 dels
DESCRIPTION:PLEASE NOTE: Our head counts have gone to the chefs at each ven
 ue. You must attend the lunch panel you signed up for. If you did not sign
  up for a panel\, you will be assigned one at check-in. We don't need to t
 ell anyone in the room that the funding landscape is rough right now. ESOs
  are stuck chasing the same shrinking pool of grants\, trying to reinvent 
 the wheel to keep their critical programs running while ensuring entrepren
 eurs have the support they need to build and scale. But capital doesn't on
 ly move through grants. Untapped resources and funding structures exist th
 at can help when applied creatively. In this fireside chat\, three Richmon
 d-region practitioners compare notes on funding structures often overlooke
 d: CDFI dollars leveraged 10x\, a CD product where dividends — not princ
 ipal — fund a cause\, and a county micro-grant that requires a 3:1 match
  and depends on ESOs to get applicants ready. Join us for a lively chat on
  how these resources can help unlock impact in your ecosystem.
