Impact Loan Initiative
Impact loans serve as critical financial tools for underbanked individuals, providing an accessible and affordable alternative to high-cost, predatory lending products. Through the Impact Loan Initiative, United Way of Metropolitan Dallas provides philanthropic funding to support a loan loss reserve fund, which allows our partner Capital Good Fund to provide easy, honest and affordable loans to North Texans.
Impact loans are available up to $1,500 and enable residents to pay for a variety of household expenses, including rent and utilities, medical expenses and car repairs. The average loan size is approximately $998, and participants increase their credit score since repayments are reported to the major credit bureaus.
