About Community Ventures Corporation

Changing Communities. Changing Lives.

Founded in 1982, Community Ventures Corporation (CVC) is a community-based, non-profit organization that exists to improve the quality of life for urban and rural residents throughout Kentucky. CVC's central mission is to provide individuals and families with the skills, income, and assets they need to achieve financial independence. CVC helps people increase income and build assets with three main strategies - small business ownership, home ownership, and job creation through business expansion.

CVC does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, familial status, or disability.
