Today we are thrilled to introduce ICA Fund’s 2024 Impact Report, showcasing this incredible founder community and showing how, together, we are building the future through local investing. Small and local businesses are the heart of our communities. They’re what make our cities more vibrant and connected, employing half of all Americans and produce half of the US GDP. They are essential and yet often overlooked by mainstream investors — and that’s what we aim to change. At ICA, we catalyze the value in local businesses that mainstream finance misses, while supporting the creation of good jobs and shared wealth. We do this through our unique impact investing approach, creating pathways for small businesses to grow through active partnership, personalized advising, and flexible capital. We take our work seriously, and it couldn't be more important right now. And we certainly don’t do it alone. Thank you to our partners, funders, supporters, and of course, the entrepreneurs, who are working to build more vibrant, resilient communities.
