GFDA Celebrates 30 Years of Lending

It all started in 1996, when GFDA made its very first loan to help fill the financing gap needed to launch Pasta Montana. That first investment kicked off three decades of helping businesses, entrepreneurs, nonprofits, and developers turn great ideas into reality across our region.

Thirty years later, we’re proud of the businesses we’ve helped start, the expansions we’ve supported, the jobs created, the homes and community facilities built, the properties redeveloped, and the partnerships that have made it all possible.
