A certified Community Development Financial Institution, the Genesis Fund helps some of our most vulnerable neighbors: single parents and their children, low- income working families, the elderly, homeless individuals, and people with disabilities. The Genesis Community Loan Fund provides innovative financing by soliciting investment loans from individuals, churches, corporations, and foundations, and then re-lending the money at favorable terms to nonprofit organizations developing affordable housing and community facilities for underserved people and communities throughout Maine and beyond. The Genesis Fund also provides substantial technical assistance to nonprofit organizations across the state by helping them access state, federal, and private funding to support their work.
