Investors

We have approximately 90 individual and institutional investors, in amounts ranging from $1,500 to $3 million, whose money funds our loan pool. Without their participation, CCLF could not do its community lending work. Learn about investing in CCLF here.

Funders

CCLF's work takes an enormous amount of staff time and resources. While CCLF is approximately 72% self-sufficient, we still require general operating and program grant support to keep our doors open and to do our good work. CCLF continues to enjoy the support of over 25 banks, foundations and corporations, as well as numerous individual contributors. Learn about donating to CCLF here.

Pro Bono Legal Counsel

A profound and heartfelt thank you goes to all the attorneys and firms who contributed their services pro bono in the last year. Without the work of all these dedicated lawyers, CCLF's work would not be possible. A special thanks also goes to the Community Economic Development Law Project, which has helped CCLF find pro bono legal counsel throughout the fund's history. Feel free to email the law project to find out how they might be able to help you.
