Capital for Change (C4C) is a Community Development Financial Institution (CDFI) that provides high impact lending products and programs to increase energy efficiency, nurture small business development, finance multifamily and mixed-use developments, and create and preserve affordable housing. They champion projects of all kinds with an approach that one size does not fit all.

They understand that as our downtowns go, so goes our state. C4C cares deeply about restoring vitality and community pride in Connecticut’s urban centers and legacy cities. Downtowns are underutilized economic engines that can create jobs and tax revenue, promote cultural activities, supply affordable housing, along with other benefits.

C4C assists public and quasi-public entities by facilitating the implementation of publicly-funded programs and projects by providing loan underwriting services, portfolio management, loan servicing or program and funding administration.
