Neighborhood Development Center

Aiming to help those in historically underserved neighborhoods develop businesses that enrich their economic and social fabric, Neighborhood Development Center (NDC) provides culturally competent, integrated business services in Minneapolis and St. Paul.  To date, it has loaned over $13.7 million to more than 570 businesses, participated in the redevelopment of six formerly blighted properties that now house over 120 small businesses, and trained 4,690 aspiring entrepreneurs, 85 percent of whom are people of color.  Its work is credited with returning $73 million to the Twin Cities economy every year.
