How it Works
Providing Impact Loans to Meet the Needs of Your Community
1. Provide Impact Loans to Your Community
An Impact Loan is a 0% interest charitable loan – interest free forever. It helps to bridge cash flow and pay emergency expenses without accruing extra fees or high-interest debt.
2. Allow a Flexible Payback to Solve for Cash Flow
Many people can’t afford to pay back loans on time because they have no savings. Impact Loans offer flexible repayment options and terms to help your community bridge their cash flow.
3. Automatically Help Your Community Save
Repayment is set up automatically from recipient’s bank account and 10% of each payment helps build emergency savings incentive for any unforeseen emergencies.

Changing Lives One Family at a Time
What Our Impacted Communities Say
Not having to worry about rent while I search for a job has really helped. I’m able to support my family in a manner that is not so burdensome to me financially. Although I am still actively searching and getting closer to acquiring income, this has helped my situation more than anything else.
The Community Impact Fund took so much stress and worry off my shoulders and helped me get my health back on track. Compared to other places that provide support and help, this one feels the most impactful. It is the most reliable and I’m glad there is an actual person behind the screen helping.
