The National Co-op Grocers Development Cooperative Loan Fund (NCG-DC Loan Fund) is a partnership between the National Cooperative Grocers and Capital Impact Partners to provide financing to food cooperatives seeking to expand, consolidate debt, and make capital improvements. Member cooperatives invest in the NCG-DC Loan Fund that lends money to other members. All interest and fees provide a return to the cooperatives that have invested in the fund.
Through this loan fund, Capital Impact Partners builds on our 30-year history of support for cooperative development.
