A guide to loans for charities

Repayable finance is one way to advance your organisation’s goals and make a bigger difference for the communities who turn to you for support. That’s exactly what we’re here to help with.

A loan could open the door to buy land and a new property, develop new income streams, and finance ongoing projects – in a timeframe that fundraising would struggle to achieve alone.

This guide is packed with expert insight:

  • Stories of charities who used loan finance to amplify the power of good
  • A clear summary of different types of repayable finance
  • Tips on what lenders look for and how to make your business case
