Social Investors

Meaningful Investments, Measurable Impact

As a social investor, you understand the power of capital and you want your investments to be meaningful socially. What are your goals? Revitalize a specific community? Give impoverished students hope? Increase affordable housing? Create jobs for minorities and recent immigrants? Or a combination of these benefits?

Community Reinvestment Fund, USA (CRF) provides multiple investment opportunities for funding the social causes you care about. In addition to identifying and linking you with worthy communities that match your goals, CRF’s time-tested approach to leveraging your social investment ensures that your capital has maximum measurable social impact.

Creating Social Impact Nationwide

As a nonprofit financial intermediary, CRF brings community development lenders together with socially conscious investors to funnel capital into economically distressed communities nationwide. With the help of your grants, donations, Program Related Investments, Equity Equivalent Investments, and the CRF Individual Investor Program, CRF purchases economic development and affordable housing loans. We pool these loans into asset-backed securities and New Markets Tax Credit Funds. These investment vehicles are then sold to investors through private placement to generate more capital for disadvantaged communities.
