Access to Capital
We’re a Community Development Financial Institution (CDFI) since 2020, with a unique expertise in serving BIPOC, immigrant, and low-income entrepreneurs and microbusinesses. In our first 7 years of lending, we deployed nearly $5 million in microloans and grants to Los Angeles street vendors, brick-and-mortar retail, food, art, and service entrepreneurs.
We’re deeply committed to meeting the needs of underserved communities in Los Angeles by providing access to healthy capital and wraparound services to improve individual and community well-being.

Over the next three years, we will:
- Increase annual lending of $1M by a minimum of 10-15%
- Expand micro-equity investment to provide entrepreneurs patient capital to scale their businesses
- Create new community ownership models that prevent small business displacement
- Support other community-based organizations to create or strengthen their lending and business coaching programs
We're eager to innovate and be bold, and we believe that this is only possible through collaboration. If you're interested in exploring a partnership, reach out to us at info@inclusiveaction.org!
