Powering Community Growth from the Ground Up
Powering Community Growth from the Ground Up
At the ReVest Foundation, our mission is to empower emerging market communities through access to strategic pre-development and “proof of concept” grants, expert technical assistance, and ethical lending pathways. We believe that equitable economic development begins with removing barriers to early stage capital and increasing readiness for historically excluded entrepreneurs, developers, and municipalities. Our work is grounded in social impact, capacity building, and community-driven growth.
Through targeted funding, personalized coaching, and partnerships with vetted technical assistance providers, we help turn ideas into fundable, long-term opportunities for community transformation. ReVest Foundation serves as the impact engine supporting the interest free lending model of ReVest Community Capital. We work closely with small businesses, emerging developers, and local governments to make them more project-ready and sustainable.
We envision a future where all communities—regardless of background or geography—have equal access to capital, support, and opportunity. By combining data-informed strategies with on-the-ground partnerships, we are building a pipeline of investment-ready projects and resilient local ecosystems. With your support, we aim to scale our impact and become a national model for inclusive development.
