The Progress Fund in Greensburg, PA

Very receptive to new business ideas focused on regional redevelopment and expansion

I've had the pleasure of working with The Progress Fund for several years, and they're a really amazing collection of people who are deeply committed to making a difference in their community. They do great work, and we're lucky to have financial institutions like TPF that really care about the impact they have on the world.

Seven years ago, the Progress Fund took a chance on me when no other commercial bank would touch my initial restaurant project. Five years later, they graciously agreed to back my second restaurant venture. None of this ever would have been possible if it wasn't for the foresight, progressive nature, and vision of the Progress Fund. I am so fortunate to have a partner in business like the Progress Fund. I cant sing their praises enough. Thank you!

When I wanted to start a small distillery it was difficult to find lenders with any experience in the field, eventually we found the Progress Fund. Everyone I talked to has been so supportive of our business. I feel like there’s a lot more flexibility with The Progress Fund than there would be with other lenders. I can call someone up there and if I have a problem I can talk to a person who has an understanding of what’s going on. … It feels like a very personal relationship.

The Progress Fund has been instrumental in the expansion of our business at Yoder's Guest House. We found that they were great with explaining the process and helping us to establish the ground work to make the necessary changes to enhance our business. We look forward to the projects at hand and feel that they will continue to support us on this journey.
