Your donation supports dreams, creates jobs & builds communities
The Loan Fund’s clients are passionate and hardworking, but unable to access business credit through banks or credit unions due to reasons such as income status, location, and level of business experience or acumen.

How your donation helps New Mexico small businesses and entrepreneurs in traditionally underserved markets
Given the challenges that many of our clients face, it is critical for The Loan Fund to keep its interest rates as low as possible. Affordable interest rates increase the likelihood our clients succeed, and it keeps their overhead expenses low so these businesses can create jobs in communities across New Mexico.
Donations and contributions also support The Loan Fund’s ability to offer consulting services at no cost to address a wide range of our clients’ business needs and challenges. In many cases, their businesses would either not have been to able receive a loan without these services or would have been unable to properly address challenges they faced after they received their loans.
Over the last 10 years:
• 60%+ of our borrowers have been low-to-moderate income
• 65%+ of our loans have been made to minority-owned businesses
• 45%+ of our loans have been made to women-owned businesses
• 80%+ of our loans have been made to businesses that are minority-owned and/or women-owned

How your donation helps the New Mexico:
Your donation helps create and preserve jobs in New Mexico, which is currently the nation’s third most impoverished state.

The Loan Fund’s services fill the gap for small businesses and entrepreneurs who are unable to access traditional financial services. In total, loans made by The Loan Fund have helped small businesses and nonprofits create or preserve over 11,500 jobs in New Mexico.
