About CIGP
Financial guarantees are an evolving tool for philanthropies looking to leverage their assets and back mission-aligned projects normally beyond the scope of traditional finance. Now, a cohort of philanthropies is collaboratively leveraging their balance sheets to accelerate community investments.
The Community Investment Guarantee Pool (CIGP) is a first of its kind platform allowing guarantors to combine resources and expertise by establishing a single, one-stop-shop for intermediary lenders in the climate, affordable housing, and small business sectors. Together, this group is making more and new types of community development transactions feasible by putting more of their assets to work in service of greater community impact.
With management by Locus, this pooled commitment of financial guarantees aims to unlock capital and accelerate community investments that would not otherwise be possible across America.
