William Mann, Jr. Community Development Corporation (WMCDC)
Also in 2021, Colonial began a partnership with the William Mann, Jr. Community Development Corporation (WMCDC). WMCDC’s mission is to assist economic development initiatives by providing financing, in conjunction with an investor bank and/or a traditional lending source, for small, minority and women-owned businesses, with a special emphasis on assisting businesses in low-to-moderate income areas of Tarrant and Dallas County and surrounding areas.
The small businesses that WMCDC works with are typically not yet bankable with traditional lending. Their goal is to have each of the clients to qualify for a traditional bank loan the next time they need financing.
