Renovo formed a CDFI to fill a need in the marketplace. For many local real estate developers operating as entrepreneurs in Low to Moderate Income (LMI) areas, there has long been a lack of access to affordable working capital for reinvestment into the community. Renovo’s C3 Fund is a direct response to this need and reflects Renovo’s desire to serve our clients and support the neighborhoods where they live and work.

Our passion for transformation goes beyond individual renovation projects. As a local lender, our activities are intricately meshed with the neighborhoods where our customers and their employees live and work. We understand the vital role private investment plays in building strong communities and creating economic opportunities, and we are committed to helping local entrepreneurs focus on revitalizing their own neighborhoods.

Community Development Financial Institution (“CDFI”) certification from the U.S. Department of Treasury enables Renovo to go even further in supporting these local entrepreneurs in their efforts to generate transformational wealth and neighborhood revitalization. As a CDFI, who dedicates time, energy and resources to supporting efforts that bring economic and cultural vibrancy to the communities in which we operate, Renovo can now play a greater role in supporting those invested in revitalizing their own neighborhoods. Providing access to affordable capital to the individuals and businesses of communities who are generally overlooked by traditional financial institutions will not only change the communities, it will transform lives and enable economic freedom.
