Financing is one key tool that we use to help communities break barriers to success. As a certified Community Development Financial Institution (CDFI), we provide access to capital for projects in underinvested areas that are often overlooked by traditional banks. We work directly with our borrowers to get the most complicated transactions done. For more than 35 years, we have partnered with mission-aligned developers, organizations, and businesses to revitalize neighborhoods and deliver social impact.
When communities have access to essential services, they can break the barriers to success. As a leading nonprofit lender, we work to achieve this vision by delivering much-needed capital to key community pillars, including high-quality health centers and education facilities, healthy food retailers, mixed-use and affordable housing, cooperatives, and dignified aging facilities.
Momentus Capital is a different type of financial services company. We deliver a continuum of capital solutions to small businesses and community facilities at every growth stage. Through our sister organization, CDC Small Business Finance, we offer a variety of SBA and non-traditional lending products for entrepreneurs looking to make an impact in their communities.
Learn More About Our Lending Initiatives
While Capital Impact finances projects nationally, we realize the importance of fostering deep connections with communities to understand their needs and work with them to create tailored solutions.
To that end, we cluster our investments in places where we have roots and are better positioned to leverage a deeper understanding of the context of our work, past investments and relationships, and market knowledge to maximize our impact.
As part of this effort, we focus our lending in specific regions, including northern and southern California, Michigan and northwest Ohio, the New York Tri-State Area, Texas, and the Washington, D.C. Metro area. We do, however, encourage you to reach out if you have a high-impact project that fits within our mission outside of these areas.
Interested in Financing?
We do not just measure results based on financial return, but rather by how we can address key social and economic justice issues in our communities.
Where many traditional lenders may only see risk in supporting projects in low- to middle-income communities, we see opportunity to create financial impact and social justice.
For more than 35 years, we have delivered financing solutions and counsel that meet our borrowers’ individual needs and circumstances.
We pride ourselves on issuing competitive loans that are also flexible and appropriately structured to fit our borrowers’ repayment abilities. This means offering financing of $1 million and up.
In addition to traditional transactions, we support innovative approaches that amplify impact, such as school-based health care centers, mobile service providers, and community centers and food hubs that serve multiple businesses.
Deep Network of Partners: To create tailored financing, we utilize our relationships with traditional financial institutions, government programs, insurance companies, pension funds, foundations, and impact investors and leverage their funds to support a range of community building projects.
Every project is different and we work to match your needs with the right product. We can do everything from acquisition through permanent financing, with a focus on real estate-backed loans of $1 million and up. Our experience with complex projects in underserved markets utilizing federal, state, and local subsidy programs will help you get your project done.
