Your real odds
FCI has deployed over $330 million since 1994, which confirms consistent deal flow, but loan sizes and selectivity are not publicly disclosed.
Applications are rolling, so you are not competing against a fixed cohort with a single deadline. As a CDFI, FCI weighs both mission alignment and creditworthiness, meaning underwriting standards apply even when terms are flexible.
What it takes
Submit a loan inquiry online1 to 2 hrs
Prepare financials and project description1 to 2 weeks
Undergo underwriting and loan decision
Worth knowing
If your project involves a larger community facility or real estate development in a low-income area, FCI also offers New Markets Tax Credits, which most applicants overlook when approaching them only for direct loans.
