Why Borrow from Genesis?

Is Genesis right for you?

Unlike lenders with rigid approaches, Genesis lending staff will listen to what your community needs, to determine what kind of financing will work best.

Our borrowers are people like you.

We make loans to local grassroots groups, community-based organizations, nonprofit organizations, public housing authorities, and mission-driven developers.

Our borrowers are from rural, urban, and coastal island communities. They are people born in the United States, and people who are new Americans.

They may have limited or no access to traditional financing. Or they may look to Genesis to fill financing gaps when other sources cannot support an entire project or all its phases.

With Genesis loans and project guidance, borrowers and their community partners create spaces that become homes, centers of hope and healing, and places of belonging.
