LiftFund’s work would not be possible without the philanthropic community.
When a funder donates to LiftFund they are seeding opportunity to those who have been denied opportunity elsewhere. Funders’ dollars are used for lending and learning programming, loan capital through the Dream Makers Fund, and credit enhancements. Since 1994, we have provided millions in capital to hard-working entrepreneurs so they can break the cycle of poverty. Our clients have a successful repayment rate of 96%. Join our movement today with a donation.

Support resilient businesses through The Dream Makers Fund
For every one dollar LiftFund provides to a small business owner, they have a $14 positive economic impact in their community. Your gift to the Dream Makers Fund will allow LiftFund to provide a hand-up to deserving entrepreneurs who are often left out of America’s financial mainstream. Your donation also ensures that entrepreneurs access affordable capital, not asset stripping capital that can harm their business and personal well being. Your donation to the Dream Makers Fund gives beyond today; when a business pays off a loan, LiftFund uses the gift to make more loans. Your donation allows LiftFund to provide a fair chance to women, BIPOC entrepreneurs to turn their dreams into a reality. Learn more about the Dream Makers Fund here.
