Self-Help is a family of nonprofit organizations whose mission is to create and protect ownership and economic opportunity for all. Since Self-Help's founding in 1980, it has grown to include two credit unions, a loan fund, and a research and policy development group that supports those outside of the economic mainstream. Specifically, we: * Help borrowers build wealth by providing fair and responsible mortgages and small business loans in North Carolina, California and other parts of the nation. * Strengthen under-served communities by financing affordable housing, childcare centers, public charter schools, faith-based organizations, and community-focused commercial real estate projects. * Research and report on financial markets to support policies and industry practices that lower the cost of poverty and promote ownership.

CEI (Coastal Enterprises, Inc.) knows that a changing climate puts us all at risk. That’s why they work with Mainers to reduce their carbon output and build climate resilience. CEI supports solutions that work for people and low-income communities in the following ways: - Financing solar installations on farms and small businesses - Investing in aquaculturists to diversify working waterfronts - Capitalizing resources for processing and distributing locally grown foods - And more! “We are a part of the Climate United coalition because climate isn’t just a Maine issue, it’s an everyone issue, and the more we work together, the better we can take on this challenge.” Learn more about their work: https://bit.ly/3RlDNwU

In January 2024, Self-Help closed a loan with Mount Olivet Baptist Church of Petersburg, Virginia. This marks our first faith loan in the Richmond MSA, supporting a historic 122-year-old African American church. The loan refinances the church's high-interest mortgage, saving them over $20K per month in mortgage payments. These savings will enable Mount Olivet Baptist Church to reinvest in programs that benefit their community. We are honored to support such a vital institution and look forward to witnessing the positive impact of this partnership. #CommunitySupport #SelfHelp #MountOlivetBaptistChurch #FaithLoan #EconomicJustice #RichmondMSA
