Questions to ask when you contact them
Based on what their website said when we read it on 3 Nov 2026, and what it left out. Something missing here does not mean they don't offer it: ask.
- What kinds of loans do you make, and which one fits what I need?
We could not confirm any loan product on the pages of their website we read. - What are the smallest and the largest loans you make?
- What interest rate and fees should I expect? For a personal, car or home loan, ask for the APR.
- 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$4.2 million in 4 awards from the U.S. Treasury's CDFI Fund, 2018–2022 (CDFI Equitable Recovery Program; CDFI Program, Financial Assistance; CDFI Rapid Response Program).
| Round year | Program | Amount |
|---|---|---|
| 2022 | CDFI Equitable Recovery Program | $1,705,193 |
| 2021 | CDFI Rapid Response Program | $1,826,265 |
| 2019 | CDFI Program, Financial Assistance | $325,000 |
| 2018 | CDFI Program, Financial Assistance | $300,000 |
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)
Fiscal year ending Dec 2023| Total assets | $11.7M |
|---|---|
| Total liabilities | $17.8M |
| Net assets | -$6M |
| Total revenue | $2.9M |
End-of-year figures from the Form 990 this organisation filed with the IRS for the fiscal year ending December 2023 (tax year 2023; EIN 38-3910893, filed as “ON THE ROAD LENDING”), taken from the IRS Annual Extract of Tax-Exempt Organization Financial Data (returns processed in 2024). 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
Filings over time
| Fiscal year ending | Total assets | Net assets | Revenue |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dec 2021 (990) | $16.3M | -$35,450 | $5.5M |
| Dec 2022 (990) | $16.9M | -$711,614 | $2.8M |
| Dec 2023 (990) | $11.7M | -$6M | $2.9M |
Total assets fell 28% from Dec 2021 to Dec 2023. One row per fiscal year in the IRS extracts of returns processed in 2022, 2023, 2024; “—” = the line was empty or zero on that return (a fund can book its loans on other lines).
How it compares
Computed from public data| Measure | This lender | Compared with |
|---|---|---|
| Total assets, latest IRS Form 990 | $11.7M | Larger than 62% of the 16 other certified loan funds and venture funds in Texas with a matched Form 990 (median $7.8M). |
How these comparisons were worked out
| Measure | Peer group (this lender left out) | Peers | Where this lender sits |
|---|---|---|---|
| Form 990 total assets | certified loan and venture funds with a Form 990, in Texas | 16 | larger than 62% |
“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).
