What we do
Using finance as a tool for change
Good businesses often don’t have sufficient, affordable access to capital. That’s why Mission Driven Finance was built with a single purpose—to make it easy to invest in your community.
All the funds and structured products you will find here are designed to close financial gaps in order to close opportunity gaps: impact investment opportunities that are simple, transformative, and aligned.

Mission Driven Finance has helped flow $200 million in assets into community, doubling volume in under two years! This capital supports impact-minded entrepreneurs, businesses, nonprofits, and real estate projects, creating an inclusive, robust economy. We’ve moved this money through a variety of vehicles that help us and our stakeholders stay nimble and resilient in a shifting marketplace.

“Assets into community” now at $200M, skyrocketing by $100M in two years
Our team is celebrating a huge milestone: We’ve disbursed over $200 million in assets into community as of April 30, 2025!
