Questions to ask when you contact them
Based on what their website said when we read it on 2 Nov 2026, and what it left out. Something missing here does not mean they don't offer it: ask.
- What is the APR, including fees, on your personal loans?
Their website does not state an APR. The APR includes fees, so it is the number to compare. - What interest rate and fees should I expect on your microloans?
Their website does not state a rate for this. - Is there a minimum credit score, and do you consider borrowers with little or no credit history?
Their website does not say what credit history they accept. - Do you need collateral, a business plan or a minimum time in business?
Their website does not say what they require. - How long can I take to repay?
No repayment terms are stated on their website. - Do you offer free coaching or help preparing my application?
CDFI certification requires development services, such as training or advice, alongside lending. - What documents will you need from me, and how long does a decision usually take?
Their website describes some application steps (above); ask for the full document list.
Write down the answers, who you spoke to and the date, and ask for the terms in writing before you sign.
CDFI Fund awards
CDFI Fund database, 3 Nov 2026$425,000 in 2 awards from the U.S. Treasury's CDFI Fund, 2021–2024 (CDFI Program, Technical Assistance).
| Round year | Program | Amount |
|---|---|---|
| 2024 | CDFI Program, Technical Assistance | $300,000 |
| 2021 | CDFI Program, Technical Assistance | $125,000 |
These are awards and investments made to the institution itself to build its capital and capacity. They are not loans to borrowers, and an award does not mean the lender has money available for a particular loan today.

Size of the fund (IRS Form 990)

End-of-year figures from the Form 990-EZ this organisation filed with the IRS for the fiscal year ending June 2023 (tax year 2022; EIN 81-2556015, filed as “MICROCARE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT SOLUTIONS”), taken from the IRS Annual Extract of Tax-Exempt Organization Financial Data (returns processed in 2023). Figures are self-reported to the IRS, not audited by us, and lag one to two years behind today. The filing shows no amount on the notes-and-loans line; a loan fund can report its loans on other balance-sheet lines, so this is not a loan figure. The lender’s own annual report may show newer numbers. This organisation’s filings on ProPublica Nonprofit Explorer

How these comparisons were worked out
| Measure | Peer group (this lender left out) | Peers | Where this lender sits |
|---|---|---|---|
| Largest stated loan | other loan funds stating a maximum, nationwide | 184 | higher than 1% |
| Form 990 total assets | certified loan and venture funds with a Form 990, in Arizona | 5 | larger than 0% |
“Larger than X%” = the share of the peer group with a smaller value. Ranks count from the largest. Peer groups use the lender's home state when it has at least 5 peers, otherwise the whole country. Full definitions: methodology.
For comparison, not an offer and not a rating. Past records show what this lender did, not what you would be offered. Peer groups and sources: methodology. Form 990 figures: IRS annual extracts (see the Form 990 section).
