Community Investment Note

Doing Good While Doing Well

Community Investment can help lift people out of poverty while earning you a financial return

When you purchase a Community Investment Note, the full value of your principal is lent out to help underserved communities. As loans are repaid, the capital is lent out again, multiplying the social impact that your investment has created. At maturity, your capital is returned to you with interest.
