A Track Record of Success

In the last three years we have extended an estimated $1.7 million in loans to 135 borrowers.  We are grateful to our borrowers that vast majority of our loans are repaid on time and in full.  We are grateful to all our supporters for enabling this work, and we are thankful to all our borrowers for allowing us to serve the community and continue the tradition started in Washington D.C. over 100 years ago of zero-interest loans. ​ (As of December 2023)
