Portfolio & Borrowers
Partners for the Common Good is a catalytic force in community development finance, strategically deploying capital to improve the lives of individuals, families, and communities both domestically and internationally.
Through targeted financing, we support a diverse array of high-impact projects—ranging from affordable multifamily and single-family housing developments to charter schools in underperforming districts, community-based healthcare centers, and critical social service infrastructure in economically distressed areas.
Our international lending supports microfinance institutions that extend access to capital in underserved global markets, further amplifying our reach and impact.
As of December 31, 2023, our active loan portfolio reflects our mission-driven priorities:
- 53% allocated to affordable housing, addressing the growing national crisis in housing availability and affordability;
- 36% directed toward community facilities—including schools, clinics, and social service hubs—that provide essential services in low-income neighborhoods;
- 10% invested in commercial real estate projects that stimulate economic revitalization and job creation;
- 1% supporting international microfinance institutions working to expand financial inclusion in developing regions;
- and less than 1% in working capital loans designed to support the liquidity needs of mission-aligned organizations.

Partners’ borrowers focus on serving the most economically disadvantaged areas in the U.S. In 2023, 15 projects originated in census tracts meeting the CDFI Fund’s Investment Area criteria, while 10 projects were located in census tracts meeting the stricter New Markets Tax Credit (NMTC) Severely Distressed criteria. Additionally, four projects each were situated in Persistent Poverty Counties and Qualified Opportunity Zones. On average, census tracts with Partners-financed projects exhibited a 20.4% poverty rate and an 11.99% unemployment rate, both more than double the national average.
