Nonprofit Finance Fund

“The spirit of co-creation and learning between NFF and our Oregon nonprofit partners has resulted in capacity-building work customized to our nonprofits’ needs and delivered in a way that is truly relevant and accessible to a range of organizations.”

“The Regional Foundation engaged Nonprofit Finance Fund to relaunch our Program Related Investment program. We received equity-centered strategic advisory support and thoughtful underwriting services to execute an end-to-end program from RFP development to loan commitment letters. We had a phenomenal experience working with NFF, and our community partners (our borrowers) spoke so highly of the process, too.”

“Nonprofit Finance Fund has been a true thought partner and intentional, effective steward of grant funds to support the resilience of service providers working at the intersection of healthcare and homelessness. We’re grateful for their collaboration in fund design and administration and value their commitment to the organizational wellbeing of nonprofits doing vital work in our community.”

“I appreciate the push you and partners are doing to center nonprofit worker well-being. In the process, I see you bringing along your peers in philanthropy. In addition, you are providing Executive Directors like me tools to use in our own advocacy to our philanthropic partners ... Thank you for your allyship in this work. I’m grateful to be moving forward together.”

“Working with NFF has been one of those 'match made in heaven' kind of relationships. Not only do they bring deep technical expertise to our network of Black-led organizations but they bring cultural and community care, values alignment and a national perspective that enhances our work locally.”

“NFF’s bridge loan was crucial during a period of delayed funding, allowing us to outfit new health service sites and maintain our commitment to improving health outcomes for the underserved in our community. At capacity, the sites supported through this project will handle 40,000 visits annually. We and the community are deeply grateful for NFF’s invaluable partnership.”

“I can’t describe what an impact NFF’s training and subsequent work had on our efforts around financial sustainability at OMCA. … We are in the midst of a major fundraising campaign, primarily focused on our long-term financial sustainability!”

“We had a phenomenal experience working with NFF, and our community partners (our borrowers) spoke so highly of the process, too. In addition to providing top-notch services with unmatched expertise in the nonprofit finance sector, the NFF team is a true pleasure to work with. We look forward to growing our partnership years into the future!”

“NFF was a catalyst for GALS LA’s newly-opened and custom-built campus, which provides GALS LA with a permanent home optimized for our unique school model. From our first warm introduction, it’s been evident that NFF is tirelessly working for the success of their partners.”

“The funding provided by NFF was the primary funding instrument to cement the Arc Health acquisition of Lux Travel Nurse. There is a severe shortage of talented nurses in rural areas, just like there is a shortage of doctors. Given the vital role that nurses play to ensure high quality medical care and Arc Health's ability to deliver these services through its Lux Nursing arm, this financing will continue to support our ongoing mission of providing the best medical care in underserved rural communities.”

“Nonprofit Finance Fund was excited about our work and took the time to get to know us and the environment that we’re working in. We’re grateful to work with a lender that was flexible and enthusiastic about the work we do, and that they were also willing to take the time to see how they could support us and learn about what we do and how to make it work.”

“It’s easy to get discouraged because the need is far greater than our individual organizations’ capacity to solve. But partnerships like NFF give me confidence that we are not in it alone.”
