Expanding Access to Capital for Muslim Communities

Shari’a-Compliant Financing

Helping small businesses succeed since 1994.

Muslims who seek to live in accordance with Islamic principles are unable to access conventional debt capital because of Islam’s prohibition against charging or paying interest.

This has created a gap in access to financing for Muslim communities. Muslim entrepreneurs and nonprofits often find themselves forced to assemble all needed capital before starting a project or launching a business. This can cause frustration, lost opportunities, and long delays.

To better serve the growing Muslim community in the Pacific Northwest, Craft3 has worked with key partners to develop innovative Islamic financing options. Our Islamic financing solutions let Muslims access capital without compromising their faith.

Community

Our Islamic financing initiative is a true community partnership.

Equity

We're striving to remove barriers to accessing capital and opportunity.

Ethics

Our Islamic financing products have been created in consultation with and endorsed by a leading Islamic finance advisory consultancy.
