Reasons to Invest in NCDF

Cooperative Expertise

NCDF is a nationally recognized resource for cooperative development with more than three decades of experience lending to cooperative enterprises. NCDF was started by a group of cooperatives frustrated with trying to get loans from conventional banks. Conventional lenders often did not understand the cooperative structure. Today many co-ops still struggle to get access to financing. An investment in NCDF helps cooperatives get the financing they need.

Sound Lending

NCDF protects investments through sound lending practices, solid underwriting, and maintaining healthy loan loss reserves. Over more than thirty years of lending, NCDF has maintained a strong lending track record, never losing investor capital and repaying all investor loans as agreed.

Community Impact & Leverage

Investments in NCDF support economic democracy by investing in local cooperative enterprises and housing. Investments in NCDF foster job creation, support democratic workplaces and community ownership, and create affordable housing. As a Community Development Financial Institution, NCDF focuses on lending that benefits low-income and underserved communities.
By combining funds from various sources and working in partnerships with local lenders, NCDF is able to multiply the effect of an investment many times over, allowing investors to have an economic and social impact while receiving a modest return on their investment.
