Our Impact, ribbon cutting event

At FCLF, every loan we make brings high social impact to its low-income community and the residents of that community.


We help capital flow in new and better ways for people and places that we exist to serve. Our goal is to help organizations build, acquire and rehab projects – ultimately, to help people and build strong communities. We believe a community is defined by its components: housing, schools, healthcare, grocery stores, local businesses. Our loans help stabilize communities by providing resources to help local nonprofit and mission-based for-profit organizations succeed and achieve their missions. Below is a snapshot of Our Impact through December 31, 2023.

For 29 years FCLF has Invested in Florida's Communities. Learn more in our 2023 Annual Report.

Policy and Advocacy, Our Impact

POLICY AND ADVOCACY

In addition to these measurable impacts, FCLF advocacy work aims to improve public policies that:
  • affect the operating environment in which our borrowers work,
  • create opportunities for increasing the capacity for nonprofit developers, and
  • promote transparent accountable strategies for increasing the flow of capital for community and economic development in low- and moderate-income communities.

Our efforts include educating state and federal elected officials on the role of Community Development Financial Institutions (CDFIs) as important intermediary institutions with the capacity to leverage state and federal dollars to achieve greater impact.

To read more about organizations we have financed, we invite you to Meet Our Borrowers. Our Impact report also has more information on our financing throughout Florida.
