A man with short hair, brown eyes, and wearing a business suit, George Ashton the Third.

Text on screen:

George Ashton the Third, President, LISC Fund Management.

George:

It was difficult as a youth growing up in a mostly white affluent neighborhood, as the only Black child in the Little League or in your school.

On screen:

A photo shows Mr. Ashton, as a child, holding baseball trophies.

George:

But that difficulty forced me to figure out where the commonalities were. It also made me sort of an arbiter between communities. While it was a really challenging time, being either too Black for certain situations or too white for other situations…

On screen:

A photo montage shows Mr. Ashton, as a young man: 

-  with a group of friends; 

- running on an outdoor track; 

- playing golf; 

- (and) wearing a suit jacket, smiling.

George:

…it was an uncomfortableness that really ultimately benefited me in the way that I look at the world and the perspectives I have, but also the empathy that I can bring to understanding the challenges of different experiences across the country.

On screen:

Photographs show Mr. Ashton standing with colleagues at different conventions and seminars across the country, including one in Washington D.C.

Text on screen:

When Ashton started raising capital for his first business, the racial wealth gap was undeniable.

George:

As I think back to building my career, I think back to how hard it was to start a business for myself. My access to capital was actually not as strong as my business partner’s who came from a lower-income background but had connections through his community.

On screen:

Photos show Mr. Ashton with his business partner, a White man with brown eyes.

George:

So, when both of us tries to raise capital from our networks and I came up with very little, he came up with a whole lot more. And I was like, “Wow.” This racial inequity, when it comes to network wealth, is a real thing. And what does that mean for your ability to start a business?

On screen:

A montage shows Mr. Ashton walking through an office building, speaking with a LISC funding recipient, a woman who has dark pulled-back hair and glasses.

Text on screen:

Artura Taylor, President and CEO, TDG Scientific.George:It’s really been incredibly rewarding to talk with somebody who has been in a business for four or five years, has found different ways to scrape by, deserves to get a chance to expand that business, to hire more people, create jobs in the community, fulfill their dreams…

On screen:

Mr. Ashton meets with Ms. Taylor In an office with wall-sized windows overlooking a city.

George:

…and to be able to provide them that capital is the most powerful part of being in this profession. Changing their lives, but also potentially affecting the lives of their next generations, so that we could not only provide solutions, but provide solutions at scale that actually might create a tipping point.

Text on screen:

In his role at LISC Fund Management, Ashton helps entrepreneurs access the capital they need to take their businesses to the next level.

George:

The awesome thing about LISC is it at the same time has this national perspective on solutions for communities, but also has folks in communities (38 of them all over the country) that can give you real context for the actual challenges and how they manifest in those particular communities.

On screen:

A montage of photos and videos show Mr. Ashton wearing a hardhat marked "LISC Strategic Investments," at a podium during a LISC-sponsored event, attending a meeting in a conference room, and visiting different small businesses.

George:

One of the thematic challenges we see for BIPOC businesses is the need for working capital.

Text on screen:

BIPOC - Black, Indigenous, and people of color.

George:

And an example that comes to mind is a printing company in Kalamazoo, Michigan where there’s an employee that’s been at the company for a really long time, has been in a leadership role at that company.

On screen:

A montage shows a man with short hair, a thin mustache, and glasses, Sean Hollins. Mr. Hollins walks through a printing shop, reviews recently-completed printing jobs, and works on his office computer.

Text on screen:

Sean Hollins, Owner, R.J.s' Printing.

George:

The owner is looking to transition the business. The employee (who’s a BIPOC employee) just needs some capital to basically be able to buy the building and the business from the existing owner.

On screen:

In an office, Mr. Hollins meets with a Senior Program Officer of the Local Initiatives Support Corporation.

George:

So again, the concept of someone who’s gone 90% of the way, in terms of setting the business up and preparing themselves for success, just needs 10% more – this capital – to get them over the hump. And so hopefully, the capital that we put in these communities means in a generation or two, more people are at that point where they can really follow their dreams.

Mr. Ashton smiles, standing outside on a wide city avenue.

A woman with pulled-back hair and glasses, Artura Taylor.

Text on screen:
Artura Taylor, President and CEO, TDG Scientific.

Artura:

In 2004, we semi-retired. We invested heavily into a real estate portfolio.

On screen:

A montage shows Ms. Taylor walking up a flight of stairs and into her home office.

Artura:

But the economic downturn in 2008 would be so severe that it would thrust us back into the workforce and into the throws of entrepreneurship.

Text on screen:
Taylor left retirement in 2009 and launched TDG Scientific to help companies source lab equipment, chemicals, and supplies.

Artura:

Our secret sauce had to be to develop a business model that would allow us to build relationship and strategic partnerships direct with manufacturers.

On screen:

Framed magazine articles show photos of Ms. Taylor, and headlines reading: "Artura Taylor - Bringing Determination to Distribution" and "Age is a Major Asset."

Artura:

That offers us unlimited capacity to aggregate spend, access to millions of products across all categories and lines.

On screen:

A montage shows Ms. Taylor at her large desk, working on a dual-monitor computer.

Artura:

It also allows us to get the most competitive pricing.

Text on screen:
TDG's team has worked remotely for more than a decade. Taylor saw that remote work offered an inclusive environment and expanded her pool of job candidates.

Artura:

You get a really, really energized team, as such that we have.

On screen:

Using her computer, Ms. Taylor attends a remote conference call, with seven other virtual participants.

Artura:

In addition to that, part of our premise was is to allow mothers who want to work from home, who are able to be home to raise their children, as such that I have now, being the custodial parent for my 8-year-old grandson.

On screen:

A montage shows Ms. Taylor with her grandson, who wears a small lab coat and uses a children's chemistry set.

Artura:

He’s an aspiring little scientist, he loves chemistry. So who knows? One day this may be his legacy.

Text on screen:
Funding from the Local Initiatives Support Corporation (LISC) helped Taylor grow TGD's team and upgrade its technology.

Artura:

It has afforded us the opportunity to increase our staff from 8 full-time to 13. It doubled the size of our bid department. That attributes to our internal, organic growth.

On screen:

In an office with wall-sized windows overlooking a city, Ms. Taylor meets with a dark-haired executive, wearing a blue blazer, George Ashton III.

Text on screen:
George Ashton III, President, LISC Fund Management.

Artura:

I think it’s just by far one of the most phenomenal opportunities that we’ve had in a lifetime. And we’re hopeful that the visibility this came from this will be able to impact other small businesses as well.

On screen:

A montage shows an aerial view of a tree-lined suburban neighborhood, Ms. Taylor standing in front of her large brick-and-stone house, and Ms. Taylor standing with Mr. Ashton in a roomy, contemporary-style lobby.

After graduating art school in Chicago, Hollins answered an interesting job posting at a printing company.

On screen:

A man with short hair, a thin mustache, and glasses, Sean Hollins.

Text on screen:
Sean Hollins, Owner, R.J.'s Printing.

Sean:

I answered an ad in the paper for a janitor with Macintosh experience, which was totally weird. And was a janitor for about five months, and from there went towards making mash prints to scanning, to running some of the automated equipment there.

On screen:

A montage shows Mr. Hollins and one of his employees using equipment in a printing shop.

Sean:

I worked there for five years and after leaving there, I was like, “I think I can start my own business and called it Fortitude Graphic Design & Printing.

On screen:

In his office, Mr. Hollins uses a telephone...and then reviews a graphic design on his dual-monitor computer.

Sean:

That's when Ralph and I, kind of paths interacted.

Text on screen:
Ralph became a very close business partner and friend. After 27 years in printing, Ralph was ready to sell his company and he knew just the person.

Sean:

Ralph had never sold a business and I never bought a business. So it was new on both of our ends as far as what we needed to have in place to make this happen.

On screen:

A montage shows Mr. Hollins, and a female colleague with black hair, walking through a workspace with different printing machines.

Sean:

It was some challenges that I had to kind of overcome.

On screen:

Mr. Hollins uses his computer mouse and then jots down notes on a pad with a logo reading, "R.J.'s Printing."

Sean:

I didn't think it was attainable; everything had stopped. Who's going to be funding a project such as this during COVID? I was put in contact with Sonja Dean. They were able to connect the dots and we were able to get the job done.

On screen:

In his office, Mr. Hollins meets with a woman who has long brown hair and glasses.

Text on screen:
Sonja Dean, Senior Program Officer, Local Initiatives Support Corporation.

Local Initiatives Support Corporation stepped in to help Hollins purchase R.J.'s Printing from Ralph Jones.

Sean:

He was very passionate about making sure that his staff was gonna have a solid home. That was the first thing that we agreed upon and it was an easy agreement because the staff is great.

On screen:

A photo shows Ralph Jones surrounded by his staff and their families, all with shirts showing their name. A video clip shows Mr. Hollins and one of his staff reviewing a computer screen in a small office.

Sean:

My intent is to grow it so that everybody here continues to eat, everybody here continues to have upward mobility and not just the owner. I think that that is going to be important for our community.

On screen:

An aerial view shows Hollin's printing company, with seven cars parked outside of it. Mr. Hollins, Ms. Dean, and a staff member stand outside the building which displays a large sign reading R.J.'s Printing - Printing Solutions and Creative Designs.

Sean:

I don't think I want to be the best business in the community; I want to be the best business for the community.

I met Sean about three years ago as he was journeying into deciding to be an entrepreneur to buy RJ’s Printing.

On screen:

A montage shows Ms. Dean, in an office, meeting with Sean (a man with short hair, a thin mustache, and glasses).

Sonja:

He called me fairly early on in his process and we really kind of built a relationship to determine what he needed to do in order to be ready to borrow money from LISC, and to connect him to all the resources he needed to wrap around him as a business owner…

On screen:

In his office, Sean jots down notes on a pad, uses a telephone, and reviews a graphic design on his dual-monitor computer.

Sonja:

…and to really help him take all of the steps that he needed to, to get to an acquisition.

LISC's small business initiatives tackle racial wealth disparity head-on.

Sonja:

There is a great disparity between white-owned businesses and Black-owned businesses in terms of their access to resources to help them grow and to build their dream and to build their family wealth.

Sonja:

And LISC works to bridge those disparities.

On screen:

A montage shows Sean giving Ms. Dean a tour of his printing company and working with young staff members using printing equipment.

Sonja:

My hope for Sean is that he gets to live into his vision to grow this business. I'm so excited for the work that he's doing to expand out into the community and to work with youth to help build that next generation of leaders, and learning a trade and to hopefully someday own their own business, if that is their dream.

On screen:

A man with silver hair, brown eyes, and a thin mustache, Tom Espinoza, speaks from his office.

Text on screen:

Tom Espinoza, Co-Founder, Raza Development Fund.

Tom:

My father was discriminated against by a fairly large utility company here in Arizona. And I saw Dad suffer through trying to become a foreman.

On screen:

Two family photos show Mr. Espinoza's father as a young man standing with his wife and baby and standing with his mother, wife, and three children.

Tom:

They couldn't get his position because of who and what his ethnic background was. So I promised myself that I would be part of that change, that I would in fact be an activist.

Text on screen:

As an activist, Espinoza worked as a youth organizer. Then he joined Chicanos Por La Causa (CPLC) to help Hispanic and Latino families access affordable housing. As president and CEO, he grew CPLC from a small operation to a dynamic organization with a ten million dollar yearly budget serving Hispanic and Latinos in Arizona's major cities.

Tom:

I also learned during that process that it's not just about the structures, it's not just about the houses.

On screen:

Photos show Mr. Espinoza as a younger man (with black hair and a thick mustache). Espinoza reviews documents, stands with a group of activists (many wearing hard hats), and speaks with community organizers.

Tom:

What is the impact on the family that you're helping? What are their challenges and how can you help as an organization or as an individual that's involved in community development?

On screen:

Photos show a younger Mr. Espinoza speaking on a telephone by a "CPLC" sign, in a large office with his colleagues (five men and two women), and sharing information with a young couple at their home.

Tom:

It's about having heart and soul in your mission, because if you don't have a sense of the family itself, it's difficult for you to communicate, and more importantly to get their trust because community development is about building trust in the community that you serve.

Side note:

Soft uplifting music plays.On screen:A montage showss Mr. Espinoza, as a mature man, meeting with community members in their homes.

Text on screen:

Working at CPLC also taught him that infusing capital into communities wasn't enough. Espinoza wanted to do more to help families.

On screen:

That's why he and others started Raza Development Fund, a Community Development Financial Institution.

Tom:

We understood it wasn't just about the dollars. Are we truly serving families? Because if you're not, then you're just doing a deal.

On screen:

At a College Prep Academy, diverse students sit together in a classroom with a brightly colored wall-sized mural.

Tom:

We felt that education was going to be key for our community, especially Latinos and African Americans in the country. So we did zero in on learning about charter schools, parochial schools, universities that will serve the poor and serve in communities that were lacking good educational vehicles.

On screen:

A montage shows Mr. Espinoza at Raza Development Fund's headquarters meeting with his executive staff in a conference room, studying paper documents, and speaking about community non-profits using a neighborhood map of Phoenix Arizona.

Tom:

That became, to some degree, our calling card across the country.

On screen:

A framed poster displays a picture of Mr. Espinoza and the text: "Faith, Hope and Love: Our Journey in Community Development."

Tom:

When I think of RDF, I think of all the great people that I've gotten to work with. The energy level and the willingness to work for our community and serve, it's phenomenal.

On screen:

Mr. Espinoza (wearing his ever-present cross on a silver chain) walks through the Raza building. He greets members of the office staff with a warm hug. A man puts his arm around Mr. Espinoza's shoulder. They review information on a computer screen.

Tom:

The other is the thousands and-- I don't know how many families we've touched over the last 23 years, in the community itself.

On screen:

A photo montage shows Mr. Espinoza cheering with the Raza team), meeting with community leaders, speaking at an awards ceremony, and meeting Sandra Day O'Connor.

Tom:

Life is good. God is good. The blessed weather has blessed me with this great opportunity to serve. And I'm just a small piece of it in the scheme of Raza development as a whole.

September 11th, 2001, was a turning point for many Americans, including Toni Farmer-Thompson. That's when she left Wall Street to dedicate her career to closing the racial wealth gap. May 25th 2020 - the date George Floyd was murdered- was also pivotal for Farmer-Thompson. May 25th 1975 was the date her father was killed.

After hearing about Raza Development Fund's work, she became interested in making a similar impact.

And I said, “Can we analyze what the greatest, most impactful levers would be if we were going to take on a project and try to have the impact that Raza has? What is it that the Black community would need?”

You can have a dream, but unless there is someone there to help you execute, it's pretty difficult to get to where you know you need to go.

All of that work, quite frankly, is in support of our three strategic pillars increasing housing supply, advancing racial equity and resiliency and well-being of communities and the residents that live there.
