A Trusted Financing Partner

With close to 4 decades of experience, we structure and deliver flexible financing that supports development needs and results in investment that strengthen neighborhoods, scale social enterprises, and create resilient communities, where everyone can thrive and prosper. Our financing toolkit includes a variety of loan products with flexible terms and features.

We are proud to share that in 2022, we deployed 47% of our loan originations ($117.8 million)—representing 50% of closed loans—to BIPOC-owned or led organizations.

Reinvestment Fund provides loans for affordable housing, clean energy, early childhood education, food systems, health services, Historically Black Colleges and Universities, K-12 education, arts and culture, other community facilities, and social impact real estate projects.
