Solutions That Fit How Nonprofits Operate
Your revenue comes from grants, pledges, contracts, and earned income with timing you do not fully control. We structure working capital lines secured by eligible receivables or pledges, bridge loans to reimbursable grants and government contracts, equipment loans and leases that match asset life, and real estate financing for clinics, classrooms, housing, and offices. When scale warrants, we help evaluate tax-exempt bonds issued through a conduit authority. Our role is to align leverage and covenants to your cash cycle so you can deliver on mission.

Use Cases We Fund
