SWIIFT Initiative | Community Foundation For Southwest Washington Support lasting social impact, while growing our region’s charitable assets by allocating funds toward the Southwest Washington Impact Investment Fund for Transformation. The SWIIFT Initiative is an impact investing strategy that puts philanthropic dollars to work in greater ways.
By providing low-interest loans to high-impact projects, we scale tangible community benefits. These investments build affordable housing faster and unlock major funding streams to address local needs. As loans are repaid, your charitable assets generate returns that can be reinvested into the community, time and time again.
Our innovative approach recycles charitable capital to create lasting impact. Donors and fundholders choose one of two ways to invest in the SWIIFT Initiative based on their goals. The Community Foundation disburses low-interest loans to finance projects led by nonprofits and housing providers.
Borrowers use loans to accelerate affordable housing development, scale effective programs and attract additional funding to our region. Repaid loans generate returns that are reinvested in SWIIFT OR returned to your Donor Advised Fund after 5 years. What is impact investing?
Impact investing is a strategy that aims to generate positive social impact alongside a financial return. While traditional investing is focused on financial returns and philanthropy aims for social returns, impact investing sits in the middle ground.
By directing loans to projects and organizations that address critical community needs—such as affordable housing and nonprofit capacity building—impact investments create meaningful change and modest growth in a sustainable way. Supporting the SWIIFT Initiative means making a meaningful impact while earning a modest return on your charitable assets. Here are a few reasons why you should add your support.
Put your charitable dollars to work through low-interest loans to local organizations addressing critical community needs. Complement traditional grantmaking by providing short-term loans that help organizations move projects forward faster. Our revolving loan model ensures continuous impact and reinvestment for transformative change.
