Financing for our communities. Profits for our investors. 

We believe that creditworthy borrowers whose projects create assets in the community deserve to be  considered for financing. We are here to finance these projects when a borrower’s unique  circumstances don’t fit the criteria for traditional lenders. We analyze every loan application individually  with consideration for its potential impact and return. All our loans provide measurable community  benefit. See our community impacts.
