Nonprofit Finance Fund

We are a nonprofit lender and consultant founded in 1980.

We work with mission-driven organizations, funders, and networks, offering financing, consulting, and advocacy. Our services include tailored financing, expert guidance, and financial tools for nonprofits. We also help funders and investors maximize the impact of their grants and investments.

We support nonprofits in acquiring, developing, and creating community-owned assets. We use a full cost framework to help nonprofits and funders understand complete financial needs. We research and listen to nonprofit leaders nationwide to identify sector challenges and opportunities.

Since our founding, we’ve provided $1.7 billion in financing and supported projects totaling $6.3 billion nationwide. We currently manage an active loan portfolio of $348 million.

Our mission is to help mission-driven organizations adapt, thrive, and drive positive change by giving them access to financing and resources. We aim to support thriving communities and advance community wealth and well-being.

We view nonprofits as agents of opportunity and change, operating with a commitment to our mission and values. We prioritize equity and continuously seek to improve as a learning organization.

We employ between 51 and 200 people. Our diverse team is passionate about our mission and values.

We strive to be a learning organization, continuously improving while fostering a sense of care and belonging among staff. Our culture is supported by initiatives like culture club gatherings for social events, team building, and shared interest meetups such as recipe swaps and book clubs. We encourage continuous learning through national calls, forums, and debriefs.

We support a hybrid work model, serving clients nationwide. We have five offices in New York, Boston, Philadelphia, Oakland, and Los Angeles that act as gathering points for in-person collaboration.
