NY Inclusive Creative Economy Fund


Invest for a More Inclusive New York

To expand our investment in the creative economy and makerspace, LISC NY launched the Inclusive Creative Economy Fund in 2018. The NY Inclusive Creative Economy Fund program provides loans to nonprofit and mission-driven organizations that own, lease and manage affordable spaces for businesses in creative industries, so that these businesses can get started, take root and thrive. By establishing and preserving affordable spaces for light manufacturing, business incubation, maker/artist studios, and cultural activities, the Fund will foster quality middle-skill job opportunities for low- and moderate-income New Yorkers.

This initiative is a collaboration with Upstart Co-Lab, a national collaboration connecting impact investing to the creative economy.
