Featured funding opportunities

Indiana SSBCI and the 21 Fund

Indiana’s SSBCI activity in Bootstrap Directory is anchored by the Indiana Twenty-First Century Research and Technology Fund (21 Fund) / Legend Fund listing from IEDC. Confirm current fund windows, eligible uses, and lender or partner pathways on the official IEDC SSBCI page before applying — program names and availability change.

How Indiana businesses should use this page

Prioritize the Indiana-tagged SSBCI listing first, then compare SBA 7(a)/504/microloan and CDFI options that include national coverage for Indiana. State credit support often works through participating lenders rather than a single public application portal.

What to verify before applying

Confirm geography (Indiana operations), business stage, eligible use of proceeds, credit criteria, collateral, personal guarantee, fees, and whether the program is currently accepting applications. Prefer the official IEDC or lender page over third-party summaries.

CDFI and community capital in Indiana

Bootstrap Directory’s Indiana-only debt inventory does not yet include Indiana-exclusive CDFI rows beyond multi-state lenders that also serve other states. Use the CDFI hub and lender match tools, then verify Indiana service territory with the lender.
