Strategy
Our direct origination strategy is focused on the direct sourcing and structuring of primarily debt financings in transactions that deliver meaningful and measurable social impact to our borrowers and their respective communities across a broad range of project types that are not easily or efficiently financed through traditional lending channels. Our targeted origination approach is centered on an established yet growing relationship network with local governments, institutions of higher education, not-for-profit entities, and other borrowers that use the financing we provide, to fund economic development projects in infrastructure, education, healthcare, and housing.
