We champion investments and reforms that support renters, homeowners, entrepreneurs, and cooperatives — especially in BIPOC and under-resourced communities.
Through our CDFI lending arm, we provide business advising and flexible loans to entrepreneurs who face barriers accessing traditional financing.
We help launch and finance cooperatives, land trusts, and other shared ownership enterprises that build community wealth beyond the individual.
We invest in emerging and established leaders, creating pathways for them to shape the future of our sector.
We think long-term and system-wide. We’re not just solving problems — we’re shifting who holds the tools, the dollars, and the power. Our structure as a consortium and a lender allows us to move resources and relationships toward impact.
We:
We use an anti-racist lens in everything we do, honoring the full identities of the people and communities we serve.
We believe there's enough to go around — enough resources, enough vision, enough solutions. We move from scarcity to shared possibility.
As a CDFI and convener, we treat capital and relationships with deep care — balancing risk with a mission to deliver lasting value to communities.
We stay accountable to BIPOC communities by continually asking: Who benefits? Who’s left out? How can we shift power?
We focus on relationships, not transactions. We believe transformation happens when knowledge, leadership, and power are shared.
We support and scale community-led solutions at the intersection of affordable housing and economic opportunity.
MCCD is powered by a diverse staff, board, and membership of housing developers, economic justice champions, and community-based leaders across Minnesota.
