A Tucson-based nonprofit creating equitable access to the economy. We focus on housing, entrepreneurship, and education.
关于我们
Community Investment Corporation (CIC) is a nonprofit dedicated to the financial empowerment of Pima County and the surrounding area since 1996. We give the members of our community, who are shut out of and left behind in our economy, access to the knowledge and financing they need to pursue new opportunities. Committed to expanding economic opportunities, we pursue three distinct program areas that are foundational to individual and community well-being: ? HOUSING: Helping aspiring homeowners through tax credits and down payment assistance. ? ENTREPRENEURSHIP: Providing much needed financing to small businesses and nonprofits, as well as, introducing innovative systems to promote private investment in early stage businesses. ? EDUCATION: Assisting schools with access to capital, bond compliance, and family engagement CIC unlocks the door to prosperity for all members of our community to meaningfully participate in our powerful but imperfect capitalist economic system and reclaim the American Dream. WE KNOW YOUR WORTH The System May Not Recognize Your Value, But We Do. Our goal is to promote economic inclusion for all members of southern Arizona, regardless of socioeconomic status. We will achieve it by leveraging our financial and knowledge capital into the areas of our local economy where expansion of access is desperately needed. Specifically, our work ensures that more people in our community can buy homes, can access the education they want for their children, and can get the funding they need to start, sustain, and grow their small businesses. The guiding principle we live by is: Nobody who has the desire and diligence to participate in our economy should ever be on the outside looking in.

We're so thankful to have had a seat at Governor Katie Hobbs Round Table yesterday afternoon, hosted at Startup Tucson. Southern Arizona’s small business ecosystem partners shared with the Governor the collaboration and innovation that we are doing individually and collectively implementing to increase access to capital and ensure the likelihood of entrepreneurial success. The Governor listened and asked how the State could continue to support our work - even beyond the AOEO and SSBCI funding that is supporting small business lending in Southern Arizona now. Thanks to the Governor’s Southern Arizona office including Marisol Flores-Aguirre and Nathalia Untiveros as well as the Governor's policy aide, Ian O’Grady. Partners that attended the discussion were Tucson Industrial Development Authority, YWCA Southern Arizona , City of Tucson and Startup Tucson. Photos from Startup Tucson

???????????????? to the INCREDIBLE impact The Earnest House has in our community. CIC is proud to be a small part of their journey. We are so proud of Danny, Jessica and The Earnest House team ????
Today, The Earnest House was honored to host Governor Katie Hobbs and her incredible team as they toured our newest transitional home. Thanks to a generous small business loan from?Groundswell Capital and?the CIC, we’ve been able to expand our mission and open this home, providing support to 17 individuals on their recovery journey. During the visit, our staff had the opportunity to share their personal stories and how our program has positively impacted their lives. But, this home represents more than just a roof over someone’s head; it has the capacity to alleviate over?6,000 nights of homelessness?annually in our community. Today’s visit highlights the power of investing in local organizations, enabling us to tackle challenges like homelessness and recovery.
