Driving Change by Investing in an Equitable Future
For too long, systemic racism and disinvestment have prevented communities of color from economic mobility and wealth creation. That’s why we’re part of a financial movement to eliminate racial disparities and uplift community-led solutions so everyone can flourish. As you look to grow, build wealth, and invest in your community, we’re your partner on the road to actualizing your dreams.

A New Model for Community + Economic Development
Capital Impact Partners and CDC Small Business Finance have have come together to operate under one President and CEO and a single national strategy to transform the financial industry and accelerate solutions that address social and economic inequality.
Places We Serve
Standing shoulder-to-shoulder with communities, we work together to create programs that address the needs of the people we partner with. We start by listening carefully to locals, and then we co-create financial services and programs to build on community strengths. Taking a “place-based” approach to investing in communities allows us to foster deep connections with people that help us learn more about their community. Together, we create new pathways to support self-determination and locally-led visions of equity, access, and opportunity.
Behind the Scenes: Building Communities Of Opportunity
As a mission-driven community development financial institution we work tirelessly to ensure good projects often overlooked by traditional financial institutions get the investments they need. Go with us behind the scenes to see how we support social impact projects that create equity, opportunity, and inclusiveness.
STORIES OF IMPACT
Building communities through equitable, affordable housing
When Ronnie and his neighbors learned that their apartment building was sold, they needed local partners to help find a way for them to remain in the neighborhood many had lived and raised kids in for decades. Through equitable and affordable housing solutions, Capital Impact is helping Ronnie and others create stable and healthy communities.
Meet Ronnie and others applying innovative mission-driven solutions to today’s housing crisis.
Transforming health care to meet
today’s needs
While health centers and clinics serve millions of patients, there are still many who are unable to make it to those facilities. OLE Health is bridging that gap by taking its services on the road to meet patients where they are. The result: more equitable access to quality health care for more people.
