AT CAPITAL GOOD FUND, WE ENVISION AN AMERICA FREE OF POVERTY.

It is not easy to escape from poverty. Low-income Americans face numerous obstacles to building better lives for themselves and their families. For many, the promise of the American Dream seems to be slipping away. That’s where we come in.

Capital Good Fund is a nonprofit, U.S. Treasury-certified Community Development Financial Institution that helps people fix their finances. We offer financing and personalized Financial Coaching to families in Rhode Island, Florida, Massachusetts, Delaware, Illinois, Texas, Colorado, Connecticut, New Jersey, Georgia, and Pennsylvania. Our mission is to create pathways out of poverty and advance a green economy through inclusive financial services.

Recognizing the endemic nature of American poverty—as well as the interlocking issues that together form barriers to eradicating it—we use financial empowerment in a holistic way to meet the needs of our clients, foster true social mobility, and chip away at the wealth and opportunity gaps in our society.

WHY WE DO WHAT WE DO

Watching our clients achieve their dreams is incredibly rewarding. Every day, we witness the power of small loans and financial coaching to change people’s lives. Whether it’s seeing the gratitude of a single mother who has been given a loan to move into a safe and affordable apartment, or the excitement of an immigrant on the verge of becoming an American citizen, we are motivated by the spirit and drive of our borrowers.

Good Fund began as a dream in a social entrepreneurship class at Brown University in the fall of 2008, and is now one of the fastest-growing microfinance institutions in the United States!
