It is the second such fund formed by Erskine Bowles, former head of the U.S. Small Business Administration and White House Chief of Staff under President Clinton, and Nelson Schwab, a founding partner of Carousel Capital.
  • $1 million Truist Foundation grant to Per Scholas North Carolina to expand technology skills training in rural North Carolina.
