The Community Loan Fund is a non-profit financial organization that turns investments from individuals and institutions into fixed-rate loans and education that create opportunity and transform the lives of people with low and moderate incomes across New Hampshire.

We collaborate with a wide range of business, nonprofit and government partners to provide the financing and support people need to own homes, have quality jobs and child care, and become financially independent.

The funds we make available are loaned to us by caring partners – people and institutions – who want to put their investments to work right here in New Hampshire. In 25 years, through recessions and bullish economies, the Community Loan Fund has never failed to repay a lender.

Established in 1983, the Community Loan Fund was one of the first Community Development Financial Institutions in the nation, and has received industry awards and recognition for social impact, financial strength and performance.
