Low Income Investment Fund Releases 2025 Annual Impact Report
National CDFI reports $3.9 billion Invested to strengthen communities;
77% toward achieving decade-long $5 billion investment target by 2030
SAN FRANCISCO (Jan. 13, 2026) – Today, the Low Income Investment Fund (LIIF) released its Annual Impact Report for Fiscal Year (FY) 2025, recapping the national community development financial institution’s (CDFI) impacts over the course of the year and showcasing its status as a leader in capital innovation.
As of the last fiscal year, LIIF has invested $3.9 billion in communities in every corner of the country, providing flexible, patient capital to individuals, organizations and communities that have few other options from traditional financial institutions. Additionally, LIIF is ahead of schedule in achieving its 10-year goal to drive $5 billion in investments to strengthen communities by the year 2030, having already invested 77% of that pledge.
“Since our inception in 1984, the driving force behind LIIF has been a longstanding commitment to the values of our mission, and this past year was no exception,” said Daniel Nissenbaum, CEO at LIIF. “From child care providers to developers denied loans at their local bank branch, LIIF has provided flexible, patient capital to individuals, organizations and communities that have few other options — and we are just getting started.”
The report notes that LIIF maintained its consistently stellar A/Stable rating from S&P and AAA rating by longtime CDFI analyzer Aeris, while exhibiting a historically low default rate and the support of over 30 national and international banks. Moreover, LIIF reported a threefold increase in total net asset changes, from a $14 million increase in FY24 to $44 million in FY25.
Other Impacts as of FY25:
- 2.6 million people served.
- 108,000+ affordable homes produced or preserved.
- $660 million invested in early care and education projects.
- 430,000 spaces in child care created, preserved and enhanced.
In the wake of a turbulent year for many in the CDFI industry, the 2025 Annual Impact Report underscored LIIF’s bedrock financial stability, continued growth and ongoing commitment to channeling early-stage, catalytic capital into community projects that the private market can’t serve.
“Private lenders alone cannot fill the market gaps that would be left in the absence of CDFIs such as LIIF, much less tackle the yawning divides in wealth, education and health that stand to grow only larger,” said Kimberly Latimer-Nelligan, President at LIIF. “As we reflect on a year shaped with economic and political challenges, LIIF’s mission remained steadfast: raising and structuring capital to create opportunity in communities where mainstream financial markets fall short.”
