Launching capital vehicles that center your communities

Since 2016, Mission Driven Finance has been mobilizing capital to advance more inclusive economic opportunity.

We started with a blended capital loan program to support small businesses and nonprofits advancing more equitable outcomes in education, health, and wealth in San Diego. From the start, we embraced doing things differently and inclusively—across fund design, outreach, underwriting, and portfolio support.

Quite quickly, organizations, accelerators, and projects around the country started seeking us out to help them design, develop, and manage funds or capital vehicles that center their communities.

These experiences as a direct private lender and an intentional asset manager inform our cross-cutting structural solutions to get capital flowing where it hasn’t been but should.

“Mission Driven Finance is one of my favorite impact-first firms; their creativity and magic in structuring are unparalleled.”
