The Progress Fund
The Progress Fund is a community development financial institution that creates jobs and improves communities in rural Appalachian Ohio, western Pennsylvania and all of West Virginia.

Since its inception in 1997, The Progress Fund has made 149 loans totaling more than $11 million, created or retained more than 855 jobs, provided at least 5,000 hours of business counseling and helped reuse 60 historically-significant buildings.
