About
LiftFund is a non-profit Community Development Financial Institution (CDFI) that supports small business owners with limited access to capital through small business loans and technical support for their dreams of entrepreneurship.
We provide a hand up to small business owners, so they have a chance to succeed. Since 1994, LiftFund has provided millions of dollars in micro and small business loans to diverse, hard-working entrepreneurs with a 96% successful repayment rate. For every $1 we lend, there is a positive economic return of $14. Daily, thousands of small businesses and entrepreneurs are denied capital and tap into high interest rate debt and predatory lenders that cost more than they can afford. We believe everyone deserves the opportunity to build a company successfully with capital no matter their background, race, ethnicity, sexual identity or geography.
