In the 1980s when the federal government was slashing economic development programs, a group of Vermonters created a new approach to raising and lending money to stimulate economic growth. Capital would be raised through investments from individuals who wanted to put their money to work in their own communities. In 2001, RavenMark developed VCLF’s logo and began to produce materials that reached out to investors and sent a message to businesses and organizations needing capital. Today there is approximately $21 million under management and still growing. As VCLF expands and changes, we keep working to keep its message relevant, clear, and compelling.
