Northern California Community Loan Fund

For 25 years the Northern California Community Loan Fund (NCCLF) has provided loans and grants to non-profit projects and enterprises that work to alleviate poverty in communities throughout the 46 northernmost counties of California. Their loans typically range from $10,000 to two million dollars with interest rates ranging from seven to nine percent. The fund focuses on four types of projects: affordable housing, community facilities, economic development, and credit operating lines to assist community-based nonprofits.
