New Hampshire Community Loan Fund

Established in 1983 in Concord, N.H., the New Hampshire Community Loan Fund was one of the first Community Development Financial Institutions in the United States. The New Hampshire Community Loan Fund has since been honored for their innovation and their impact. The New Hampshire Community Loan Fund collaborates with a wide range of donors and lenders, and with business, nonprofit and government partners. Together, they provide the financing and support that people with low and moderate incomes need to access affordable housing, quality jobs, early education for their children, and to become financially independent. The Community Loan Fund has loaned more than $220 million to thousands of New Hampshire individuals, organizations and employers. They didn’t do it alone. Nearly every project was a collaboration with a variety of donors and lenders, including banks, credit unions, as well as other business, nonprofit and government partners.
