As a mission-driven lender, real estate consultant, and community developer, IFF cares about much more than the bottom line. That’s why nonprofits trust us to plan, finance, and build the facilities that are critical to their success. Sharing a mission of change drives everything we do.

Across the Midwest, we work closely with clients serving low-income communities from every sector, including human service agencies, health centers, schools, housing developers, and grocery stores. Since 1988, we have made over $620 million in loans, leveraged $1.7 billion in community investments, and grown our total managed assets to $498 million.
