ACCION USA would like to recognize Citi for their unwavering support of ACCION USA's mission to empower small business entrepreneurs with access to capital and education. In August 2011, Citi Foundation donated $50,000 to ACCION USA as part of a social responsibility initiative to economically stimulate underserved areas of New York City. Thanks to Citi and ACCION USA's continued partnership, small business entrepreneurs will have access to the financial and educational resources needed to keep their businesses thriving!
