We are pleased to share the Florida Community Loan Fund 2018 Annual Report and proud to highlight success stories that inspire our work in addressing Florida’s community development needs:

  • a Vietnam veteran became a first time homeowner through R.E.A.C.H.
  • teachers and first responders will be able to afford high quality rental apartments thanks to Neighborhood Renaissance
  • vulnerable populations will have affordable healthcare delivered with dignity at Orange Blossom Family Health
  • children and youth will have opportunities to reach their full potential at a new facility for Boys & Girls Clubs of Manatee County

During fiscal 2018, FCLF provided $48.5 million in financing to projects throughout Florida. In addition, our quick response to the widespread damage caused by Hurricane Irma delivered critically needed, low-cost working capital to affected nonprofits across the state. 

We continue to build a strong foundation that will ensure mission success in the future. With our new five-year Strategic Plan, we will increase our impact in Florida by delivering more capital through our existing lines of business and developing more ways to flow capital into the communities we serve.

Thanks to the investors, supporters, and all the partners who have made FCLF's accomplishments possible as we lead capital and strengthen communities. We are honored by the trust placed in our organization. We are excited for the future of Florida communities and take seriously our role to help bring opportunity and dignity to people and places outside of the economic mainstream.
