THE FOUNTAIN FUND

The Fountain Fund is expanding the reach of its low-interest lending into new geographic regions in partnership with regional and national organizations providing complementary reentry services. We leverage existing resources and expertise in serving formerly incarcerated people with a financial need and eagerness to create new opportunities for themselves and their families... In 2022, the Fountain Fund is launching a pilot expansion of our partnership model with the First 72+ in New Orleans, La., and expanding the reach of our Central Virginia lending into Richmond, Virginia... The Fountain Fund also helped inspire, inform and shape HB 1895 that passed in the 2020 Virginia General Assembly session. The bill eliminates fees for payment plans and interest accrual after an individual is charged with a crime and during incarceration.
