Advance New Mexico
Loans for businesses and nonprofits in NM
Mission Driven Finance makes loans to New Mexico businesses and nonprofits that often do not fit SBA, microloan, or bank criteria. Advance New Mexico closes that gap with flexible loans for small businesses and nonprofits headquartered or operating in New Mexico — especially those serving Native, rural, and underinvested communities. No minimum credit score, no personal guarantees — capital for organizations creating real community impact across the state.
Who we fund
Advance New Mexico funds working capital, term loans, bridge loans, project finance, and growth capital loans for businesses and nonprofits that enhance lower middle income or underserved communities. We prioritize organizations that address at least two of three impact themes:
Ownership & leadership
Diverse ownership including women, BIPOC, LGBTQ+, and U.S. veterans.
Workforce
Creation of quality jobs and diversity in the workforce..
Products & services
Positive impact on low-to-moderate-income or historically underserved communities.
