2019 Annual Report

Our Equity Journey

As an organization that for decades has been at the forefront of efforts to build strong, sustainable communities, we are having
to ask ourselves two fundamental questions in the face of the suffering caused by COVID-19: What are our responsibilities to
the communities we serve, and do we have the responsibility to
do more?

Although those two questions have a new urgency in this
time of crisis, they have always been at the heart of our
planning and our work at Capital Impact Partners.

Stories of Impact

“Our task is not only to develop this permanent supportive housing project but also to build an inclusive community and to work in close collaboration with our stakeholders to maintain ongoing stewardship of that community.”

– Macy Leung, Depot Community Apartments Project Manager, Allied Housing

“Our drivers are already economic experts in this industry. It’s a great opportunity to put them to work and transform the political economy.”

– Erik Forman, Independent Drivers Guild Education Director

“It was not unusual for me to be one of two women in the boardroom and that felt like a heavy lift. I needed to work on not being pegged in a single pigeon hole and get people to really understand the inequities I was fighting against.”

– Jane Garcia, CEO, La Clínica de La Raza

“In terms of working with people, and the impact you can have on people, there are a lot of communities that haven’t been invested in in a long time…the opportunity to do development [in Detroit] is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.”

– Clifford Brown, Managing Partner, Woodborn Partners

Fostering Deep Connections with Communities

We fundamentally believe that fostering deep connections with communities to understand their intrinsic strengths and unique characteristics allows us to create tailored initiatives and loan programs to overcome historic inequities and drive social and economic justice.

Based on that principle, we cluster our investments in five core geographies including California, Michigan and the Great Lakes, New York, Texas and Washington, D.C.

In the maps below you will see a snapshot of how we apply this strategy in two focus areas, including the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area as well as Detroit and greater Michigan.

Equity Highlights

As a Community Development Financial Institution, our mission is to break down the barriers that communities experiencing historical disinvestment and systemic racism find between themselves and their goals. Knowing the barriers these issues create, Capital Impact continually focuses on integrating equity more deeply within our strategy as well as the very framework of our organization.

To ensure we continue to increase our impact along this journey, we have created our first Equity Vision statement with guidance from The Justice Collective, which you can read here. In addition, we are now publicly tracking progress in how we support this vision both internally and through our work with communities.

Our Equity Vision Statement

Looking back at our journey through 2018, both as an organization and as a country, it is no surprise to us that Merriam-Webster’s “word of the year” was justice. The meaning and implications of justice were central to important conversations taking place in communities across the United States.While we are pleased to see attention brought to this critical topic, justice – or the lack thereof – is an issue that we have wrestled with for decades.
