社区基金会基金推出非营利性过桥贷款基金

过桥贷款基金将帮助非营利组织在等待获得批准的赠款资金期间继续提供基本的社区服务。

纽约中部社区基金会(Central New York Community Foundation)的地方影响力投资项目向合作联邦银行(Cooperative Federal,Coop Fed)提供了 50 万美元的存款,用于启动非营利性过桥贷款项目。

Coop Fed 是一家社区发展金融机构 (CDFI),也是联邦特许信用合作社,它将咨询、技术援助和教育与抵押贷款、贷款和账户服务等金融工具相结合,帮助其成员实现目标并建立财务稳定性。 其成员历来银行存款不足,生活和工作在缺乏投资的社区。

过桥贷款基金将帮助非营利组织在等待获得批准的赠款资金期间继续提供基本的社区服务。 政府机构和其他资助方通常会要求获奖者在报销的基础上提取资金,这往往需要几个月的时间来处理报销事宜。 社区基金会对 50 多个当地非营利组织进行的一项调查发现,58% 的组织曾遭遇过纽约州拨款合同的资金延迟。

“Cooperative Federal 首席执行官 Chrisina Sauve 表示:”Cooperative Federal 专注于以有利于不同人群和社区的方式扩大资本获取渠道。 “过桥贷款具有支持和维持当地非营利组织的双重影响,同时也使这些非营利组织有可能将外部资金引入我们的地区”。

贷款将由存放在 Coop Fed 的社区基金会资金提供全额担保。 与 501(c)3 财务赞助人合作的非营利组织和非法人组织有资格获得的贷款额度相当于其根据全面执行的供资协议预计支付的第一笔款项,从 25,000 美元到 150,000 美元不等。 社区基金会将负责接收、打包贷款申请和初步尽职审查。 符合社区基金会内部标准的申请将被推荐给 Coop Fed。

“社区基金会负责社区投资的副总裁弗兰克-里奇(Frank Ridzi)说:”纽约中部非营利组织等待数月才能收到拨款的情况并不少见,这迫使它们改变服务或寻找其他权宜之计。 “当地社区组织的重要工作是我们的首要任务,因此我们希望通过这项贷款基金提供灵活的支持,帮助确保他们的服务得以继续。

这项投资标志着社区基金会的地方影响力投资计划已累计投资 360 多万美元,用于推动住房、商业发展和贷款。 影响力投资使组织能够利用其财务资源进行投资,既产生财务回报,又产生积极的社会成果。 2023 年,基金会董事会批准了一项政策,允许将不超过 5%的主投资池用于影响力投资。 到目前为止,已建造了 41 栋新房,为住房、个人和企业贷款筹集了 5620 万美元。

社区基金会的地方影响力投资计划旨在满足广泛的社区需求,重点是帮助纽约州中部居民积累财富,使居民有机会为该地区的经济表现做出贡献,并为资源不足的社区和非营利组织提供获得资本的途径。
