More Than Loans
We go beyond the services of traditional lenders by connecting you to a knowledge network of experts to help you with finances and other business-related information. Connect with coaching services that can help you analyze your organization and make informed decisions aimed at helping you pay off your loan, hit your financial goals, and improve your organization.
Small business and nonprofit owners need flexible capital that meets individual needs. Our one one-size-fits-one approach to lending allows us to meet you where you are.
Coaching and Guidance
Our coaching and guidance efforts are the cornerstone of our lending work across the state. We approach this as business consultants and find the tools and resources that work for you. Our belief that lending alone isn't enough is central to our mission. We are with you for the long haul.
Grant Writing & Project Development
Pursuing grant funding requires thoughtful planning and preparation well before an application is submitted. This includes defining the scope of work, developing detailed budgets and timelines, and identifying potential matching funds. Once a viable funding opportunity is identified, relevant organizational documents must be gathered to support the application.
With proven experience in securing and managing grant funds, we support projects that drive job creation and strengthen communities.

Working with the Community Loan Fund was so much easier than I expected. Within two weeks I was meeting with a feasibility study consultant with experience in our field. The result is a large savings in time and capital and more focus on the essence of our business. The Community Loan Fund is a fantastic resource.

We can have a lot of beautiful ideas, but mentorship is invaluable in moving those ideas into practicality. And that’s part of this process with the Community Loan Fund.

Working with Community Loan Fund has really, really helped our business tremendously. And, we're looking forward to great things happening in the nearest future. We have a target. We have a goal. And we’re seeing it happen.
Now that we have this mobile kitchen, which would not have happened without the Community Loan Fund, we're able to actually see that goal become reality.
