Community Lenders

When community development is top of mind, Connect2Capital should be top of your list. Connect2Capital is the first-ever, single online network of mission-driven CDFIs and financial institutions that caters to small businesses throughout the country.

Connect2Capital helps forward your mission to deliver responsible, affordable lending to help underserved and often underestimated small businesses—providing a gateway for them to join the economic mainstream as small business owners.

Through our network, small businesses are connected to CDFIs like you who share a passion for business and community growth. As our partner, you get the benefit of referrals from financial institutions of small business owners who don’t yet qualify for traditional funding. In fact, you can look forward to a greater number of referrals through our network than through your dedicated marketing efforts—thanks to our national reach and bank relationships.

Yet Connect2Capital goes a step further

We help complement your goals by educating small businesses not yet loan-ready—connecting them to your educational resources and guidance. We even help make easy work of the process, including managing leads:

• Seamless backend system and robust referral tracking/reporting system
• Real-time alerts for loan inquiries matched to your product offerings
• Real-time alerts for inquiries via geo-specific matching based on the area you serve as a lender, often state-based or metro-based
• Ability to create and configure any or all products offered in the network
• Track leads by source and status over time to determine highest quality referral partners
• Target product offerings to specific markets or referral partners
• Access to socio-economic, demographic, and community impact data specific to your lead pipeline.
