Our Mission
Our straightforward mission is to promote economic and community development. We keep it simple so we can adapt to change and meet the unique needs of different communities.
We aim to achieve our mission by partnering with communities, commercial lenders, economic development agencies, and business owners to collaboratively deploy affordable and innovative financial solutions that help provide essential goods and services, quality and accessible jobs, and other measurable results in economically distressed communities and for low to moderate-income individuals. We also provide technical assistance to small businesses through partnerships with organizations that specialize in helping owners access affordable, responsible, and creative debt.
With tools to support our commercial lending partners’ efforts, we focus our loans on businesses that align with existing community plans, deliver clear outcomes, benefit residents in underserved neighborhoods, and support low-income individuals.
We practice and support appropriate fair lending and non-discriminatory practices.
