The lenders almost nobody checks

Among them: Community Reinvestment Fund, Inc., NDN Fund, Inc., Community Impact Loan Fund, Local Enterprise Assistance Fund, Accion Opportunity Fund. Quillify tracks all 483 nationwide alongside the grants, because the right answer to a funding gap is sometimes a loan you can actually get.

Opportunity figures count live, unexpired programs as of September 1, 2026 and refresh twice monthly. Foundation figures come from IRS filings for tax year 2022 and move as new filings arrive. Segment counts are programs that explicitly name the segment; programs open to any organization type are reported separately, never double-counted.
