This giving season, LEDC is excited to launch a special gift for our supporters — a Limited-Edition LEDC Beanie featuring our vibrant community bird. Created exclusively for this campaign, the beanie symbolizes joy, resilience, and the collective strength of our Latino and immigrant communities. It’s more than apparel — it’s a statement of solidarity.
As a community-centered CDFI, LEDC depends on donors like you to continue providing essential support to small businesses, emerging entrepreneurs, and families across Minnesota. Federal rollbacks and ongoing challenges have made this work even more urgent, and your contribution helps ensure our services remain strong and accessible.
How to Get Your Beanie
The first 100 donors who contribute between Give to the Max Day and December 31 will receive our exclusive LEDC beanie.
You can qualify in one of two ways:
✔️ Become a monthly donor
Give $10/month or more, creating a sustainable foundation for our work.
✔️ Make a one-time gift of $150 or more
A single act of generosity that makes a lasting difference.
Beanies will be shipped in early 2026. Donors must have a U.S. mailing address to receive the gift.
Why Your Support Matters
Your donation fuels LEDC’s mission to:
- Provide low-interest loans and access to capital
- Offer technical assistance and business advising

A Symbol of Community Strength
The colorful LEDC bird embroidered on each beanie represents hope, cultural pride, and resilience — a reminder that we rise higher when we rise together. Wear it proudly knowing you are part of the movement.
