WE LEVERAGE

DEBT

We leverage our long-standing relationships with banks, corporations, and philanthropic organizations to raise competitively priced debt to enable us to create financial products that incentivize market participants towards activities and decisions that support our collective missions in those communities.

EQUITY

Increasingly we are finding that preferred equity products are excellent tools for creating patient capital that can participate in the upside scenarios for real estate and business investments. Our local office presence specifically enables us to deploy equity products with an increased level of asset management required and customer interactions necessary to create good social and financial outcomes for these investments.

GRANTS

Truly the most patient capital of all is grant capital. Rather than simply granting these dollars away, we promote strategies like recycling the grant capital through recoverable grants or utilizing grant capital as credit enhancements for debt or equity products. Innovative structures that are both patient but fair to both the investor and the investee are easiest to create with grant capital. As a CDFI with a long history in the community development space, LISC is one of the largest recipients of public and private grants in the country.
