Dear Friends:

Our philosophy in the Treasurer's Office is that investment doesn't stop on the ledger sheets. We believe in investing in people and communities.

Our Economic Opportunity programs do just that. Through low-interest loans, businesses can expand and create new jobs, not-for-profits can strengthen their programs, the agriculture community can meet the demands of a changing industry, towns can spruce up their tourism image and individuals can get help - whether it be to own a home or get accessibility equipment.

Inside you'll find a short description of each of our Economic Opportunity programs. We encourage you to call, write or e-mail us to find out more. You'll find contact information at the back of this brochure.

Join us in making sure Illinois keeps growing better and stronger - person by person, community by community. It's an investment we think is a sure bet.

Very truly yours,

Judy Baar Topinka
Illinois State Treasurer
