Improving lives across the Pacific Northwest by providing responsible capital for businesses, homeowners, nonprofits and communities.
Too many entrepreneurs with good ideas and strong businesses can’t access capital. Craft3 specializes in working with borrowers unable to qualify for bank financing. We’d love to help you finance your business or nonprofit.
A home is much more than a roof over your head. Our loans let you invest in yours, whether through energy efficiency improvements, a septic repair, building an accessory dwelling unit (ADU), or replacing an aging manufactured home.
Craft3 is a nonprofit Community Development Financial Institution (CDFI) that uses capital to invest in businesses, people, and communities. We empower entrepreneurs and homeowners by offering them resources to help chart their course, and we collaborate with many community and regional partners to create meaningful change.
Craft3 uses capital to help build a thriving, just and empowered Pacific Northwest. Since 1994 we’ve been making high-impact loans to businesses, homeowners, and nonprofits — especially those unable to access traditional financing.
Creating a thriving, just and empowered Pacific Northwest is a multigenerational challenge that will require extensive collaboration, sustained commitment, and creativity. It will also require the support of partners, donors, investors, philanthropies, government agencies, corporations and more. We welcome your interest, partnership, and support.
We want to make the loan process as clear and transparent as possible. Here are some resources to support business preparation and growth.
