The Low Income Investment Fund (LIIF) is a nonprofit community development financial institution that raises and structures capital for projects mainstream banks will not fully serve. It began in 1984 as the Low Income Housing Fund. Headquarters are at 49 Stevenson Street, Suite 300, San Francisco, CA 94105, with regional offices in New York City, Atlanta, Los Angeles, and Washington, D.C. Daniel A. Nissenbaum is chief executive officer. Kimberly Latimer-Nelligan is president. Maygen Moore is senior vice president and chief lending officer. Reymundo Ocañas of PNC Bank chairs the board. LIIF’s public impact scorecard, from the 2025 impact report, is $3.9 billion invested and 2.6 million people served. Affordable housing has been the core book since founding, with more than 108,000 units produced or preserved. The organization also finances early care and education and community facilities such as charter schools, nonprofit space, and health centers. It has set a 2020–2030 goal of $5 billion in community investments and reported 77 percent of that goal as of 30 June 2025. Fiscal 2025 audited figures show total assets of $797 million, notes receivable of $616 million, and total net assets of $222 million. The year closed 65 loans. Lending tools include acquisition, construction, rehabilitation, and green retrofit financing for affordable homeownership and multifamily rental, plus New Markets Tax Credits and Low Income Housing Tax Credit activity through related channels. An FY25 project spotlight describes a $2.75 million, eight-year Brighter Futures Fund loan paired with NMTC for a New Orleans early care center co-located with affordable housing, supported with Goldman Sachs. ECE work includes more than $660 million invested and about 430,000 child care program spaces created, preserved, or enhanced. LIIF presents itself as catalytic and higher-risk than banks, willing to do smaller or earlier loans and to work in markets banks skip. Supporters named in the 2025 report include banks, foundations, and public agencies such as Goldman Sachs Foundation, Bank of America Charitable Foundation, MacKenzie Scott, the CDFI Fund, and Wells Fargo. The organization is a lender and fund manager for mission sponsors, not a venture equity firm.

NorthX Climate Tech is an independent Canadian nonprofit investor and commercialization catalyst for climate hard tech. Founded in October 2021 as the BC Centre for Innovation and Clean Energy (CICE), it launched with $105 million in commitments from the Government of British Columbia, Shell Canada, and the Government of Canada through Natural Resources Canada’s Energy Innovation Program. NorthX is based at Suite 1210, 1066 West Hastings Street in Vancouver and is led by President and CEO Sarah Goodman. NorthX backs physical technologies that can reduce or remove greenhouse gas emissions while producing economic benefits for British Columbia and Canada. Its focus includes energy storage and grid capacity, industrial decarbonization, clean fuels, wildfire prevention and response, carbon management, climate adaptation, and other hardware- and materials-led solutions. The organization targets the commercialization gap between technical promise and market deployment, especially projects at technology readiness levels 4–9. Funding is non-dilutive and tailored by opportunity: NorthX says investments may be repayable or non-repayable, with approved Open Intake projects receiving milestone-based reimbursement funding. Support extends beyond capital to technical validation, lifecycle assessment, investor and industry introductions, market readiness, and follow-on funding. NorthX reports that, by May 2026, it had backed more than 74 projects with over $57 million and helped catalyze more than $600 million in follow-on investment. Those figures are reported by NorthX and are not presented as independently audited outcomes. The Women in Climate Tech initiative adds a gender-lens pathway for capital-intensive climate ventures. In September 2026, NorthX reported that more than $36 million had been committed across 45 projects at companies with women in leadership—over 58% of its total capital commitments—and that those investments had unlocked more than $430 million in additional capital.
