Overview

Founded in 1987 NCCLF was created when local people came together with a desire to invest their money in nonprofits and social enterprises that were improving lives and building equity in low income Northern and Central California neighborhoods.Rather than investing in typical for profit enterprises our founders had a vision of putting their money to work as a tool building financially strong and culturally vibrant communities where each person has access to decent jobs homes health care education and economic opportunities.We have successfully carried out that vision since the 1980s by connecting investors to communities and lending and providing financial consulting to organizations who share our vision of sustainable communities and social and economic justice.Since then we ve invested more than $254 million to projects throughout Northern and Central California impacting the lives of over 1.5 million of our neighbors. Our lending and consulting services support organizations that develop affordable housing provide critical social medical and youth services to low income people create community arts programs and increase people s access to healthy foods.
