In addition to empowering mission-driven organizations with low-cost, flexible loans, we strive to provide regular opportunities for access to grant funding.

Core to our vision mission, we commit to approaching grant making with the following in mind:

• We agree to trust, be trustworthy and practice transparency.
• We will operate from a place of humility and curiosity.
• We recognize that people and organizations have been operating in an equity space far longer than Forward Community Investments. We are committed to learning from our applicants and awardees.
• We will focus on the mission of the request.
