Oxford Bank is GLCF's

Lender of the Year!


We are delighted to announce the successful completion of Fiscal Year 2023, and we couldn't have done it without the trust and support of our amazing lenders. From October 1, 2022, to September 30, 2023, we had the privilege of working with 27 lending institutions, resulting in 49 loan authorizations.


As we close out another successful fiscal year, it is our honor to announce the winner of the FY 2023 "Lender of the Year" Award. This prestigious award goes to the lending institution that had the highest number of loans authorized through GLCF throughout the fiscal year. In the event of a tie, the winner is determined by the highest dollar amount authorized.


This year, we encountered a tie between two remarkable lending institutions, Consumers Credit Union and Oxford Bank. Each lending institution had five loans authorized. However, when it came to the highest dollar amount, Oxford Bank emerged as the winner. Their total project costs reached an impressive $28,598,866, with a 504 loan portion totaling $10,724,000.


We extend our heartfelt congratulations to Oxford Bank for their outstanding achievement and express our sincere gratitude to all 27 lenders for their unwavering support. Together, we have made a significant impact by fostering economic growth, job creation, and business development through affordable financing for small businesses.


Once again, thank you for being an invaluable part of our journey. We look forward to continuing our fruitful partnership in the upcoming fiscal year.


Congratulations, Oxford Bank!

On September 21, 2023, GLCF hosted our annual golf outing featuring our Lenders Cup Tournament. The event was played at Thornapple Point Golf Course in Grand Rapids. We maxed out the course with approximately 150 golfers and sponsors in attendance. This event was a resounding success, and we couldn't have asked for a better turnout or weather. 


GLCF would like to congratulate Greenstone Farm Credit Service for their impressive victory over the other teams they competed against and winning The Lenders Cup Tournament. Well done!


Next Year's Outing and How to Participate


Looking ahead, we are excited to announce that next year's golf outing will take place on Thursday, September 19th, at Thornapple Point Golf Course. Please remember that to qualify to participate in the Lenders Cup Tournament, your lending institution must have at least one 504 loan approved through GLCF during FY 2024. So why not get a head start? If you have a project you would like to discuss with us or want us to take a look at, please email Gary Witkowski, Bradd Pierce, or Tom Sreckovic.
