Aspire Community Capital

06/18/2026

A milestone years in the making.

We are proud to share that ASPIRE Community Capital has officially been certified as a Community Development Financial Institution (CDFI) by the U.S. Department of the Treasury.

This certification strengthens our ability to expand access to capital, financial education, and business support for entrepreneurs who have historically faced barriers to opportunity.

Since 2016, we've worked alongside business owners to help them launch, grow, and scale. Today marks an exciting new chapter in that journey.

This achievement is not just about ASPIRE.

It's about the entrepreneurs pursuing their vision.
It's about the communities they serve.
It's about creating more pathways to economic opportunity.

The work continues, and we're just getting started.

Last week wasn’t just about events.

It was about watching a city show up for entrepreneurs, families, creators, dreamers, small business owners, community leaders, and people building something bigger than themselves.

From the golf course…
to the field packed with music, conversations, kids running around, vendors connecting, and people discovering new opportunities…

ASPIRE Fest became proof of what can happen when community stops talking about support and actually becomes the support.

To every sponsor, partner, volunteer, vendor, performer, entrepreneur, team member, and every single person who pulled up with intention:

THANK YOU!!!

Thank you for investing your time.
Thank you for believing in the vision.
Thank you for helping us create moments that mattered.

A lot of people saw an event.
We saw relationships being built.
Opportunities being created.
Businesses being discovered.
Conversations turning into connections.
And a community reminding itself what’s possible when we build together.

Charlotte…
you showed out.

This is only the beginning.

Recap: Aspire Cup ⛳️

This tournament was more than just a day on the course—it was a reminder of how powerful golf can be when community, access, and opportunity come together. Huge thank you to for creating intentional spaces that pour back into entrepreneurs, small businesses, and communities through education, funding access, and economic empowerment initiatives.

From networking on the greens to seeing leaders, founders, and changemakers come together for a greater mission, this was exactly the kind of environment that reminds us why golf matters beyond the game. The relationships built out here can truly change lives and businesses.

And one thing becomes clearer every time, we need more women in these tournaments. More women learning the game. More women taking up space on the course. More women leveraging golf as a tool for business, networking, confidence, and connection.

That’s exactly why we do what we do at Posh Putters. 💫🏌🏽‍♀️

The room—and the course—changes when women show up. Will you be joining us next time? If so drop a ⛳️ in the comments ⬇️
