Localists know this requires working on multiple fronts, and community capital is one of the most important. Elizabeth's book covers the many ways to connect any local businesses--not only those related to food--with local lenders, investors, and donors."--Michelle Long, executive director, Business Alliance for Local Living Economies (BALLE) "Elizabeth has written an absolutely critical book for social entrepreneurs. She provides a unique perspective on how different kinds of capital can be blended and sequenced. If you are not familiar with how to attract grants, low-interest loans, equity, loan guarantees, etc., to grow your business, you'll find this to be a hugely valuable investment in yourself. Read it, use it!"--Don Shaffer, president and CEO, RSF Social Finance "In this book, Elizabeth tells the revealing truth of what it takes to raise capital for mission-driven food businesses and the extraordinary creativity and perseverance required to succeed. Her book also shares inspiring stories about entrepreneurs who are making breakthroughs and innovations in fundraising. No one who is thinking about starting and raising money for a food business should do so without first reading this book." --Brahm Ahmadi, CEO and president, People's Community Market "Starting a food business? Raising Dough provides an extremely useful roadmap through the financial landscape.
