About IFF
Investors and Funders

Investment and support from banks, insurance companies, religious investors, foundations and the federal government make it possible for IFF's loan program to grow. Favorable pricing enables IFF to maintain below-market rates. Leadership in research and public policy is funded by foundation and corporate grants.

IFF offers financial partners a sound investment, high leverage and community impact. Investors in IFF's Loan Program support lending throughout Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Missouri, and Wisconsin.

New investments include:

  • In September 2010, the Communities at Work Fund™ invested $20 million in IFF. This highly competitive program was formed in response to the recession by Citibank, Calvert Foundation, and the Opportunity Finance Network.
     
  • In May 2010, JPMorgan Chase provided IFF with a low-interest loan of $9.5 million with capital raised through the New Markets Tax Credit (NMTC) Program. IFF will use the funds to provide loans to nonprofits in Indiana, Wisconsin, and Illinois.
     
  • In December 2010, IFF received a $3 million Program Related Investment from The Walton Family Foundation for choice and charter school lending in Milwaukee. This brings the Foundation’s total support to IFF to $8,765,425. 
     
  • In September 2011, IFF received $8.3 million from the US Department of the Treasury Small Business Loan Fund to support small business lending.
