Impact Investing:

 

How Your Investment Makes a Difference

Your investment is a powerful catalyst for positive change at South Carolina Community Loan Fund (SCCLF). Our impact investing model is simple, transparent, and effective. Here’s how your contribution creates lasting value in communities across South Carolina:

Step 1: Community Needs Identified

Community members voice their needs and priorities — from more affordable housing to accessible, healthy food, small business opportunities, and vital community facilities.

Step 2: Your Investment Powers Change

You invest in SCCLF, providing the capital necessary to support local projects that meet these needs.

Step 3: Funding Solutions

SCCLF uses your investment to issue loans to small business owners, nonprofit organizations, and developers of affordable housing and essential facilities.

Step 4: Community Impact Grows

Borrowers use these funds to build and expand projects that create jobs, improve infrastructure, and provide essential services.

Step 5: Reinvestment for Greater Impact

As borrowers repay their loans, the funds return to SCCLF, allowing us to reinvest in new community initiatives and continue the cycle of impact.

Step 6: Stronger, Healthier Communities

Your investment drives sustainable growth, helping communities become more resilient and equitable.
