LONG-TERM IMPACT
In 2004, LIIF created a 10-year goal of A Billion for A Million. This goal challenged LIIF to mobilize $1 billion to serve one million people by 2014. LIIF aligned its strategies and operations to achieve this ambitious long-term target. Three years ahead of our target date, LIIF has achieved this goal. Learn how LIIF invested $1 billion for one million people.
Achieving this goal was only possible with the support of the many people and organizations we work with across the country. In this video, we celebrate reaching this milestone and pay tribute to the people we serve and the partners who have helped us create a million new opportunities.

This score represents the highest Impact Performance Rating of AAA with a Policy Plus, as well as the top CARS Financial Strength and Performance Rating of 1. CARS is a comprehensive, third-party assessment to evaluate the performance of CDFIs across the industry developed by Opportunity Finance Network.
