Mission
We advance economic empowerment and opportunity by partnering with and strengthening financial institutions to bring capital, create opportunity, and build wealth.
How the CDFI Model Works
Partners is a community development financial institution certified by the U.S. Department of Treasury. We work with other CDFIs across the country, pairing private and public capital with local insight to fill market gaps. The CDFI model delivers patient, flexible financing to projects that traditional lenders often overlook, aligning risk with mission.
Collaborative Finance
Partners is a collaborative lending network that pairs national capital with on-the-ground insight, supplying funding capacity and sector expertise.
We are committed to building the CDFI sector through promoting collaborative lending and service strategies. Partners provides participations and syndicated lending products that benefit our partners by:
- Expanding their legal lending limit
- Managing liquidity and portfolio concentration risk
- Delivering responsive, fixed-rate or variable financing
- Learn more about our lending approach.
