Gap Loans
Bridging the Difference
Gap lending at the Initiative Foundation is a partnership between the borrower, a lead lender and our lending team. Gap loans “fill the gap” between what a bank can provide and what the borrower needs to remain solvent on a business-investment project.
By providing access to market-rate capital and support to borrowers who may face barriers or limits to traditional financing, CDFIs like the Initiative Foundation help to create opportunities for economic growth, empowerment and job-creation in the areas they serve.
