The 海角社区 Foundation is thrilled to be a partner on this initiative. We love the idea of putting donors鈥� money to work in a way that leverages resources to serve more MSU-Denver-affiliated businesses. Hopefully, this access to capital will help more businesses launch, grow and serve our community!

Christine M谩rquez-Hudson, Vice President of University Advancement & Executive Director of the 海角社区 Foundation

In Colorado, 47.6% of all employees work for small businesses so a vibrant small businesses sector is critical to the future prosperity of Colorado's economy. This partnership between 海角社区 and Alpine Bank is an incredible opportunity for affiliated 海角社区 students, staff and alumni to secure the necessary funding they need to expand their small businesses and make an even greater impact on the state. It is an honor and a pleasure for Prairie Rose Development to participate as an intermediary through this process and we look forward to assisting and supporting many 海角社区 affiliated businesses in the months and years to come.
