Partners for the Common Good
Our pioneering model is national participation lending – we partner with other Community Development Financial Institutions (CDFIs) to provide capital to low-income people and communities. We bring capital and specialized knowledge of our target sectors to our lending partnerships. Our lending partners contribute local market expertise, serve as the primary underwriter and borrower relationship manager, provide one-on-one technical assistance, and monitor borrowers. By working in partnership with other community development financial institutions, we help bring more capital to the communities that need it the most.
Partners for the Common Good is a national CDFI loan fund that lends to the following sectors: community facilities (education, social services & healthcare) single- and multi-family affordable housing, and international microfinance. Our loan types include:
• Predevelopment and early-stage acquisition
• New construction and/or rehabilitation
• Bridge financing for LIHTC, preservation and other transactions
• Mini-perms with flexible schedules
