Do you know any tenacious small businesses and nonprofits in New Mexico doing great things but need capital?
Earn $500 to refer great businesses.
As a way to thank the community champions who introduce us to impact-driven organizations that we haven’t met yet, we want to share not only our gratitude but also a referral bonus of $500 (upon disbursement of capital to the referred borrower).
We make commercial loans to small businesses and nonprofits committed to doing good work in their communities.
If this sounds like you or someone you know, reach out to us!
What referrers can expect:
To be eligible for the referral bonus, the champion’s introduction of a New Mexico-based potential borrower to the Mission Driven Finance team must lead to our full underwriting process, including but not limited to impact, financial, and management underwriting, conditional commitment letter, and final approval by our investment committee.
The $500 referral bonus would then be paid to the referrer once capital has been disbursed to the borrower.
Borrowers referred prior to December 7, 2021, will not be considered for a referral bonus.
