Communities In Schools programs surround students with a community of support, empowering them to stay in school and achieve in life. Our evidence-based approach, adapted to meet each community’s unique needs, is the basis for our success.

Basic Needs: A student cannot focus in the classroom if he or she is hungry, cold or tired, or cannot see the board. Site coordinators see to it that students' basic needs are met each day.

Enrichment: Our Site coordinators enroll students in a wide variety of after-school and summer programs, field trips and youth conferences to help them gain experience that is essential to meeting college and career goals.

Academic Assistance: Our site coordinators work hard to ensure that students have the resources to progress academically. From providing students with tutors to finding and creating quiet spaces where students can study, we do whatever it takes to create an optimal learning environment for our students.

Life Skills: Through one-on-one workshops, team building, and guest speakers, we work with students to develop social-emotional learning, character education, social skills building, and conflict resolution.

Behavioral Interventions: Many of our students face and overcome difficult obstacles in their lives. However, their survival skills aren’t always effective in the classroom or in the workplace. Our program teaches students positive ways to cope with anger, conflict resolution, and other strategies to keep them focused on school.

The SBA created the 504 loan program to help entrepreneurs finance commercial real estate and equipment for their businesses. Businesses use these loans to finance fixed asset acquisitions such as:

• Purchases of existing buildings.
• Land purchases and improvements.
• New facility construction
• Existing facility modernizations,
  renovations, and conversions.
• Long-term machinery purchases
• Some furniture and fixtures.

Businesses in operation for 2 or more years can also use 504 loans to refinance existing debt that meets the following criteria:

• A non-federal loan
• Outstanding for 2 or more years.
• Current on all payments for the last 12 months.
• It was used originally (85% or more) to finance eligible 504 uses (see above).

The graph to the right shows how LiftFund partners with a participating lender (typically a bank) to finance part of the project. Most projects require a 50-40-10 (Bank Loan-SBA/CDC-Owner) split. However, businesses and/or projects considered “special purpose” require an additional 10% from the owner.

Finding traditional business loans isn’t easy. That’s especially true if you’re a startup, in a risky business industry or both. 

You need capital that can support you — a loan that can help you grow your business so you can prove your success and qualify for a bank loan. If this describes you, the SBA 7A Community Advantage loan program may be the right fit. We’re a partner with SBA and the program funds startups and existing businesses, startup costs, operating expenses, business acquisition, refinancing business debt, tenant improvements, working capital, equipment purchases and more.

Click here to apply for SBA 7A Community Advantage loan.

Terms:  7-10 year term; 25 year term for real estate; Prime + (2.75% to 6%); Variable rate (based on Wall Street)

• Available for start-up and existing businesses.
• SBA guarantee allows us to provide financing.
• Complimentary consultation
• No prepayment penalties
• Cash flow must be sufficient for payments.
• Owner Injection: 20% startups, 20% business acquisitions.
• Projections reviewed for businesses affected by COVID19.

LiftFund offers the Community Advantage loan to small businesses located in the following states: Alabama, Arkansas, California, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, New Mexico, New York, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Texas

When you apply for a small business loan through LiftFund, a team member will review your information and documents to find a LiftFund product that fits your business goals and budget. We provide loans for:

As their relationship builds the mentor begins to instill in the youth the Concept of La Palabra, the Word, is instilled in the youth. With statements that is, I give you my Word, I will not hurt you. I will be a good example for you. I will get you the help you need. I will value you. You can trust me.”
