Leverage New Growth Opportunities

The opportunity to launch a new program, hire additional staff, or upgrade equipment does not present itself everyday. These investments make a positive impact down the road by strengthening your work and mission. Having the financial freedom to take advantage of an opportunity is a big deal. A loan from Nonprofits Assistance Fund can help you capitalize on these moments to enhance your organization and the communities you serve.

How a loan Can Help

"Nonprofits Assistance Fund believed in us and helped us get on top of our financial situation as our business expanded. I appreciated their understanding of the nonprofit, health care, and finance/lending sectors. " Peggy Metzer, Executive Director of the Cedar Riverside People's Center

The Cedar Riverside People’s Center has been providing primary health care to low-income and socially disenfranchised communities since 1970. From 2002-2005 the clinic experienced a 26 percent growth in patient visits, seeing more than 11,300 clients a year in their cramped, outdated space. They needed to expand and renovate their clinic to realize their vision of providing consistent and excellent health services to the Riverside community.

Peggy Metzer turned to Nonprofits Assistance Fund and its Minnesota Primary Care Fund (MPC) for financing. The Cedar Riverside People's Clinic was able to extensively renovate their facility with $150,000 from the MPC funds and financing from other sources.
