Overview
Through capital and commitment Capital Impact helps people build communities of opportunity that break barriers to success. A nonprofit Community Development Financial Institution (CDFI), we have a 30-year history delivering strategic financing, social innovation programs, and capacity building that creates social change and delivers financial impact nationwide. We believe that every community should be built on a foundation of equity, inclusiveness and cooperation. This requires us to break down the barriers to success by addressing key social and economic justice issues. That is why we have dedicated our mission to delivering both the capital and commitment that help people build strong, vibrant communities of opportunities. Places where all people have access to high quality services that foster good health, economic growth, and interconnectedness.
Our Mission
Capital Impact believes that small business owners, developers, and other local leaders are the engines of job creation and economic activity in communities across the country; and when these leaders have the opportunity to succeed, their communities, their residents - and our country - thrive. Despite this, however, the current financial system does not provide everyone with the opportunities they deserve. Capital Impact strives to reverse this paradigm, working to transform the financial sector to deliver bold new approaches for the change they seek to affect.
