Loan Participation Program

CRF works closely with community partners to bridge capital gaps for small businesses, including the utilization of participatory lending programs. These collaborative programs are designed to meet the unique capital needs of entrepreneurs who fall outside of the lending parameters of local lenders.

Loan to Lender Program

CRF’s Loan to Lender program is designed for CDFIs that need liquidity to continue originating loans when balance sheet capacity is constrained. Whether you’re managing high loan demand or expanding your business lending programs, our flexible capital solutions provide liquidity while you maintain full control of customer relationships, origination, underwriting, and servicing.

Bond Guarantee Program

The U.S. Treasury’s CDFI Bond Guarantee Program gives eligible CDFIs access to fixed-rate, long-term and low-cost capital. CRF helps community lenders access the program so they can invest in a range of qualified community revitalization projects. The program has been recognized as one of the most unique financing tools available to support the growth of community development.
