Self-Help is a family of nonprofit organizations whose mission is to create and protect ownership and economic opportunity for all. Since Self-Help's founding in 1980, it has grown to include two credit unions, a loan fund, and a research and policy development group that supports those outside of the economic mainstream. Specifically, we: * Help borrowers build wealth by providing fair and responsible mortgages and small business loans in North Carolina, California and other parts of the nation. * Strengthen under-served communities by financing affordable housing, childcare centers, public charter schools, faith-based organizations, and community-focused commercial real estate projects. * Research and report on financial markets to support policies and industry practices that lower the cost of poverty and promote ownership.

Self-Help Credit Union reposted this
Did you know that Opportunity Finance Network (OFN) was originally founded as the National Association of Community Development Loan Funds (NACDLF)? Back then, a small but growing number of community-focused lenders, what we now call #CDFIs, were seeking ways to strengthen their impact. NACDLF was formed to support these mission-driven lenders, paving the way for inclusive, community-driven finance across the U.S. Fast forward 40 years, and our mission to help low-income, low-wealth, and other underserved people and communities thrive is stronger than ever! We're excited to celebrate our journey at next week's #OFN40 Conference and look ahead to an even brighter future.
