About LIIF
The Low Income Investment Fund (LIIF) is a national nonprofit community development financial institution (CDFI) with $900 million in assets under management. Our mission is to mobilize capital and partners to achieve opportunity, equity and well-being for people and communities. Since 1984, LIIF has deployed more than $2.7 billion to serve two million + people in communities across the country from its five offices. In 2020, we launched a commitment to drive $5 billion in investments to advance racial equity over the next decade.
LIIF innovates financial solutions that create more equitable outcomes for all by building and preserving affordable homes, quality educational opportunities from early childhood through higher education, health clinics, healthy food retail and community facilities.
The Just Good Capital blog advances conversations about new ways to invest capital to create opportunity opportunity, equity and well-being in communities across the U.S.
This blog serves to:
• Lift up big ideas about how communities and partners are building neighborhoods to be places of opportunity, equity and well-being.
• Spotlight creative, impactful, real-life examples of how capital and resources
are being put to work to advance racial equity on the ground.
• Explore and uncover emerging trends, approaches and data with an eye for where
our field should go next.
• Provide space for learning, sharing and discussion so that we can all do
better, together.
We welcome and encourage you to join us in furthering the dialogue around how community development can advance racial equity. If you have ideas for a post, please email us at communications@liifund.org
