NATURAL CAPITAL INVESTMENT FUND Organizational OvervieW
Natural Capital Investment Fund (NCIFund) is a US Treasury certified CDFI (community development financial institution), and the only statewide CDFI in WV. It received a multi-year grant from the SBA in March 2020 to support the Women’s Business Center – West Virginia.
NCIFund lends and delivers technical assistance to enterprises that promote a healthy environment and healthy families in West Virginia, North Carolina, and the Appalachian regions of surrounding states. We manage $50 million in assets and lend $12 M - $15 M per year. Through 2019, NCIFund has invested more than $72 M in 340 enterprises that have created or retained over 6,200 jobs, primarily for low and moderate income individuals.
Roughly ½ of the businesses we support are owned by women or minorities, and ¾ are in rural or economically underserved communities. NCIFund believes capital alone is not enough to generate the economic boost these communities deserve. So, we deliver over 4,000 hours of technical assistance annually to prospective borrowers and portfolio companies, making sure they are well-equipped to make the best use of NCIFund’s loan capital.
NCIFund meets its mission as a CDFI by supporting triple-bottom-line (TBL) enterprises that promote equity, protect the environment, and grow the economy. These include healthy local food and specialty agriculture; renewable energy and energy efficiency; eco- and heritage tourism; child and adult day care; primary health care providers, and small town main street redevelopment.
The WBC – WV builds on our vision that well-supported, home-grown talent can take the lead in growing TBL businesses in many sectors. These will form the economic foundation of lasting and resilient communities by replacing extractive industries with enterprises that produce essential goods and services, use natural resources wisely, and create local wealth via living wage jobs with benefits and skill building opportunities.
