As a mission-driven financial institution, we work to bring capital into communities and to businesses and organizations that have been systematically denied fair credit by the traditional capital sources. And we support entrepreneurs with big ideas who struggle to access capital because their social networks aren’t wealthy, or because their backgrounds don’t match the biased expectations of traditional lenders.
Our borrowers build quality affordable housing, educate students, care for children, and operate grocery stores and other businesses that create quality jobs. They provide physical and mental health care, job training, and other essential services.
Since our founding, we have put more than $3.2 billion to work for good—investing in projects that are both targeted and transformative, and igniting opportunity at scale for communities across the country.
