On the podcast, we cover a broad range of topics focusing on community and economic development lending in the U.S. Common themes include affordable housing development, the growth and management of nonprofit loan funds, early care and charter school lending, and small business lending. We also discuss how lenders can collaborate with others, hear from foundations who are active in the space, and get the perspective of borrowers and partner organizations. Special bonus episodes drill down into specific topics to bring newer entrants into the industry up to speed, including the basics of what a CDFI is, the mechanics of community development tax credit programs, and the real estate development cycle.
ILP entertains and informs impact lending practitioners at any point in their career arc—if you are interested in impact lending, you are interested in ILP. The podcast is brought to you by the impact lending consulting team at High Impact Financial Analysis. We believe that lending responsibly and with purpose can transform at-risk communities, create opportunity where hope is missing, and offer the everyday citizen a chance to be an impact investor.
