LRC provides unique investment support opportunities for socially concerned individuals and organizations who want to put a portion of their assets to work for long-term community redevelopment in Milwaukee, while realizing a clear financial return.

Much of our lending capital comes from a diverse group of investors — private individuals, banks, financial institutions, foundations and government agencies — who help LRC in our effort to transform stressed communities into healthy and sustainable places to live, work and raise families.

With the support of our investors, LRC has provided over $8 million through more than 60 loans to organizations that created or retained 1,000 jobs. With your help we can greatly expand our impact to stimulate businesses and revitalize communities.
