Community Impact Investment Note
Craft3’s Community Impact Investment Note lets accredited investors* put their money to work — for good — in communities across the Pacific Northwest by investing as little as $20,000.
* The Craft3 Community Impact Investment Note is only available to investors who meet the requirements of an accredited investor, described in the offering memorandum and application.
COMMUNITY IMPACT INVESTMENT NOTE
Craft3 uses your investment to make high-impact, transformative loans to:
- Entrepreneurs who don’t qualify for bank financing
- Homeowners looking to make improvements that increase energy efficiency or keep local waters clean
- Community facilities including childcare and nonprofit organizations
- Tribes seeking to build health care facilities and expand businesses
- Other mission-aligned projects including those focused on environmental sustainability and preservation
To ensure our lending does not perpetuate current disparities, our underwriting considers historical inequities in opportunities to build wealth, secure good jobs, and access capital and other financial services.
Craft3 invests capital to foster economic opportunity, social equity, and environmental stewardship because we believe that each are critical to the long-term health, stability, and prosperity of our region.
