Keep your mission moving forward. The Colorado Nonprofit Bridge Loan Fund provides the short-term capital nonprofits need to maintain services while waiting for government reimbursements.
Nonprofits across Colorado are delivering essential services, often under government contracts or grants. These contracts and grants are reliable in the long term, but payment delays can threaten the continuity of services. The Colorado Nonprofit Bridge Loan Fund fills this gap by providing short-term, low-cost loans.
