How is SourceFunding.org different?

SourceFunding.org is a web-based platform matching entrepreneurs, startups, businesses and nonprofit community organizations with financing from 14,323 responsible community lenders in all 50 states.

We only match with high-quality, traditional community lenders:

  • community banks
  • credit unions
  • nonprofit lenders
  • community development financial institutions (CDFIs)

Our unprecedented Responsible Finance Network™ includes 14,323 trusted, transparent, responsible and low-cost community banks, credit unions, nonprofit lenders and community development financial institutions (CDFIs) lenders in all 50 states. We do not affiliate with predatory online lenders and lenders do not pay us incentives to join our national network.

Our proprietary matchmaking software matches you with the right financing for your unique circumstances, so that you know the best matches before you begin to apply.

University and foundation-backed SourceFunding.org is a socially responsible initiative focused on financial inclusion and leveling the playing field for ALL entrepreneurs in the U.S.
