Financing Social Services to Deliver Community Impact
As part of the Momentus Capital family of organizations, we are uniquely positioned to provide a continuum of financial, social, and knowledge capital to help uplift all people’s right to achieve the dreams they have for themselves, their communities, and generations to come.
With decades of experience across lending, capacity building, public policy, and impact investments, our teams are focused on supporting locally led solutions that strengthen the kinds of shared pillars – housing, education, healthy food, and more – that help build healthy communities and generational wealth.
Community and economic development are becoming increasingly cross-sectoral, creating opportunities for Community Development Corporations (CDCs), Community Development Financial Institutions (CDFIs), and other organizations to bring a holistic lens to the issues facing communities.
Our work supports a range of factors that contribute to strong and prosperous communities. These conditions include factors such as economic security, education, housing, food access, and access to healthcare services and social support networks.
Here are examples of how we use our lending, investing, and programmatic work to support the different providers in the places and communities we support.
We offer strategic financing, policy efforts, and program development to support affordable housing efforts across the country.
Through lending, grant funding, and capacity building, we strive to amplify the potential of the co-op model to support all people.
By financing quality health care, affordable housing, and more, we support older Americans so they can age with dignity, independence, and security.
We advance access to education by supporting high-performing and reputable public charter schools in communities with underperforming or failing public schools.
As the leading nonprofit lender to community health centers across the country, we work to create programs that improve health outcomes for communities.
We finance new stores, the expansion of existing ones, and innovations such as mobile markets and food hubs to ensure communities have access to healthy food.
In line with our goal to help support economic mobility and wealth creation through access to capital and opportunities, we bring our listen-first approach to multiple cities and regions across the country.
We learn what works in one community and adapt it to ensure we create solutions tailored to local circumstances and priorities in another community.
With headquarters in Arlington, Virginia and San Diego, California, we live and work across the country, including California, Georgia, Michigan, Texas, the New York Tri-state area, and the Washington metropolitan area.
