New Hampshire Community Loan Fund

About New Hampshire Community Loan Fund

New Hampshire Community Loan Fund provides people and communities with the financial, human, and civic resources they need to be economically secure. We offer loans, coaching, and guidance to people, businesses, nonprofits, and communities to enable them to own and preserve affordable homes, grow small businesses, access cost-saving clean energy, and provide strong community services.

We got our start in 1983 when we connected impact investors with a community in need to play a role in creating the Meredith Center Cooperative — New Hampshire’s first resident-owned community (ROC). Since then, we have helped purchase or preserve over 11,000 affordable homes and added coaching and guidance loan services that help borrowers navigate repayment.

Community is at the heart of everything we do. Our neighbors-investing-in-neighbors model turns donations and impact investor funds into loans and services for homeowners, small businesses, nonprofits, and communities. During our 40+ years of service we have repaid 100% of our investors.

Through partnerships and caring community investors and donors, we continue to work toward a future where all people have access to the resources they need to live secure and prosperous lives.
