Impacto : Investing big in our community
Recognized by the Department of the Treasury as a Community Development Financial Institution (CDFI), Impacto Fund, Inc. was established in 2011 to provide loans and services to micro-enterprise businesses operating within its targeted market. Through the provision of these economic community development activities, the Fund provides resources to clients that would not be served otherwise by traditional institutions. It also seeks to help these businesses move from non-traditional financing sources to stability in their businesses where they will qualify for lending activities through traditional sources.
