Our $100M impact investment portfolio is about more than funding—it’s about building a system that works for communities long-term. Since 2019, we’ve been supporting CDFIs, MDIs, and global organizations that expand financial access and create opportunities for small businesses, families, and individuals. This model was designed to maximize community impact through continuous reinvestment. As loans are repaid, the funds are reused—turning every dollar into a continuous cycle of support and growth. Meet the organizations making this possible and learn about their work here: https://lnkd.in/diNrMm2C
