For more than 21 years, LiftFund, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, has helped individuals achieve the American Dream by providing small business lending to those who do not have access to capital from typical lenders, such as traditional banks. Along with vital small business loans, LiftFund provides educational services at no cost to borrowers, which are essential to foster self-sufficiency.

Since we opened our first office in San Antonio with three employees in 1994, we have helped thousands of people achieve the financial stability and growth they so richly deserve as a result of their vision and hard work. We’ve made more than 17,000 small business loans totaling more than $210 million. And we’ve grown to include small business lending in 13 states – enabling us to reach more and more people with each passing year.

What we do is rewarding beyond words. And knowing we are helping at the grassroots level in the communities we serve is a blessing and an honor.

LiftFund is not a U.S. government agency.⠀We are a registered nonprofit organization, but we do get some funding from government institutions. We also apply for grants and loans from private foundations and individuals, other nonprofit organizations, banks, religious congregations and corporate entities.
