OUR PLACE IN THE CDFI WORLD
CDFIs have always been about innovation. High Impact's services are a new way for CDFIs to innovate. Many CDFIs cite "attracting and retaining staff members with financial industry knowledge and experience" as a primary operational hurdle.* High Impact circumvents this barrier by providing that knowledge and experience without the associated cost of hiring, training, and retaining highly-skilled financial personnel. More importantly, not only are High Impact's services affordable, our services are often better than what on-staff personnel can provide. Our third-party perspective and industry-wide knowledge in performing unbiased underwriting, in depth portfolio analysis, and trustworthy reporting to investors provides a unique benefit to our clients.
OUR MISSION
High Impact exists to provide high-level, sophisticated financial analysis services at affordable rates to benefit mission-driven lenders and investors and the communities they serve.
OUR VISION
The vision of High Impact is to grow to serve all mission-focused financing providers—CDFI loan funds, banks, and credit unions; foundations; government agencies; socially-responsible investment funds; and more. By bringing high-level financial analysis to the financial institutions doing the most good in our society, we will increase their ability to make real progress in at-risk communities by creating a cascade of positive effects, starting with increased financial and analytical capacity and leading to stronger income statement performance, more effective use of funds, and greater access to donor and investor dollars.
OUR IMPACT
High Impact is a mission-based for profit company. We want to be the model of a responsible company. Our services are directed at clients who have a mission focus and are intended to improve their performance and long-term viability. As we grow we will strive to employ people from at-risk populations. And as we prosper, we will always donate a portion of our profits to a worthy nonprofit organization each year. It's a promise that's written right into our operating agreement. When you hire High Impact, you are contributing to our positive impact on at-risk communities.
