International Women’s Day is about celebrating women. Women have demonstrated globally that anything is possible. Today is about recognizing and celebrating their social, economic, cultural and political success.
We at Community Futures Middlesex, are strong advocates of equal opportunity and the advancement of women. More than 50% of our active loan portfolio is invested in women entrepreneurs or businesses solely owned or co-owned by women.

We believe in their vision and are always eager to offer them the support they need to be successful.
