Opportunity is our mission

The New Hampshire Community Loan Fund's founding principles

1. We believe that one of the barriers that keeps people with low incomes from achieving greater self-sufficiency is a lack of access to credit.

2. We believe that people and organizations that have or manage financial resources would be willing to help their neighbors if they had a mechanism to do so.

The Community Loan Fund's mission

Our mission is to serve as a catalyst, leveraging financial, human, and civic resources to enable traditionally underserved people to participate more fully in New Hampshire’s economy.

We do this by:

• Providing loans, capital and technical assistance;
• Complementing and extending the reach of conventional lenders and public institutions; and
• Bringing people and institutions together to solve problems.
