FUNDING TYPE

CDFI, Loan

CAN YOU GET THIS?

This fund primarily lends to nonprofits, affordable housing developers, health care providers, and community enterprises — through local CDFI partners, not direct applications.

Partners for the Common Good is a wholesale lender, meaning it works alongside other CDFIs to co-finance projects. If you are a small business or startup, you would likely need to apply through a local CDFI partner, not directly to this organization.

YOUR REAL ODDS

Competitiveness and approval rates are not publicly disclosed, and direct access for individual founders is limited given the wholesale model.

The fund focuses on high-impact community projects like affordable housing, community facilities, and health care — not general small business lending. Founders outside those sectors are unlikely to be a fit.

WHAT IT TAKES

Confirm your project fits their focus areas (affordable housing, community facilities, health care, community enterprises) — 1–2 hours
Identify and connect with a local CDFI partner in their network — 1–2 weeks
Start the conversation through the partnering CDFI or contact Partners directly via their website — Ongoing

WORTH KNOWING

Because Partners is a wholesale lender, your real entry point is finding a local CDFI that already works with them — reaching out to Partners directly without a local lender relationship is unlikely to move fast.
