Calvert Foundation Information

Calvert Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit impact investing organization. For over 20 years Calvert Foundation has enabled people to invest for social good through our Community Investment Note. The Note is a fixed income security available to all types of investors. The capital raised through the Note is used to make loans to non-profits and social enterprises throughout the U.S. and around the world that create measurable social and environmental impact. Calvert Foundation supports the growth of small businesses by lending to community development finance institutions (CDFIs) and other financial intermediaries with demonstrated expertise in successfully and responsibly lending in communities. These intermediaries provide business loans in the U.S. to underserved entrepreneurs who have limited financing options. This capital creates new jobs, secures incomes and strengthens locally-owned businesses and economies.
