Community Loan Funds and Community Development Finance Institutions (CDFIs)
Community Loan funds and Community Development Finance Institutions offer endowments cash or fixed income like investments that have a positive impact on the surrounding community. They have a risk/return profile that can make investments suitable for the fixed income or cash portfolio dependent on the tenor of the note or CD. When used as a cash investment, endowments may want to consider laddering investments as the loans made generally have a 1 - 10 year tenor and these investments cannot be sold on the public market.
