South Carolina Community Loan Fund

Investing in Communities. Creating Opportunities.

For over 20 years, the South Carolina Community Loan Fund (SCCLF) has been a catalyst for economic growth and development.

At SCCLF, we are advancing access to capital to build assets and benefit the communities and people most in need of economic opportunity.

As a mission-driven Community Development Financial Institution (CDFI), we provide financing and resources to support affordable housing, small businesses, community facilities, and access to healthy food in communities across South Carolina.
