FUNDING TYPE

CDFI, Loan

CAN YOU GET THIS?

Small businesses and startups in the Inland Empire area of California can apply.

NHSIE is a Community Development Financial Institution (CDFI) based in San Bernardino, CA. The database lists eligibility as open to all industries and identities, but their primary focus appears to be community and housing-related programs in the Inland Empire.

YOUR REAL ODDS

Odds are unclear — the funder page does not detail a specific small business loan program.

NHSIE's public website focuses heavily on homebuyer education, down payment assistance, and electric vehicle financing rather than small business lending. It's worth contacting them directly to confirm current small business loan availability.

WHAT IT TAKES

Visit nhsie.org and confirm current small business loan offerings — 30 minutes
Contact NHSIE directly at info@nhsie.org or (909) 884-6891 to discuss eligibility — 1-2 days for response
Submit application with required business documentation — 1-2 weeks

WORTH KNOWING

NHSIE offers a Savings Match Program (Empire Builder Initiative) that provides $2 for every $1 saved — this may be more accessible than a traditional loan for early-stage founders.
