Finanta

A nonprofit organization

We believe opportunity should be within reach for everyone. 

We are an independent nonprofit Community Development Financial Institution (CDFI) providing fair, affordable capital and trusted financial guidance to individuals, families, entrepreneurs, and community organizations. 

We align capital, knowledge, and advocacy to create economic opportunity at every level, from a first checking account or small business loan to the revitalization of an entire community corridor. 

Every dollar you give becomes catalytic capital to fuel small businesses, support families, and keep wealth circulating (and growing) locally. 

Your support helps us: 

  • Create jobs and business growth through small business lending and coaching.
  • Expand access to affordable, high quality housing.
  • Increase access to healthy food and quality education in under-resourced neighborhoods.
  • Strengthen financial stability for families through fair, transparent banking services.

Finanta Credit Union 

In 2022, we expanded our impact by launching Finanta Credit Union to offer fair and transparent financial services designed for everyday people, helping members open accounts, build credit, and save for their futures. Learn more at finantacreditunion.com.
