Capital Access

Decades of experience providing 'but for' capital where it would not otherwise flow & serving as a 'bridge to' accessing the capital ladder.

Our commitment to Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Justice 

Poverty and other forms of inequity and injustice that LISC works to help redress are largely rooted in this country’s historic and systemic racism, as well as in other forms of discrimination. Pursuing our mission demands that we conceive and implement every aspect of our work through the lenses of equity and anti-racism. LISC is wholly committed to living this approach.
