Community Governed Funds
AcceleratingCommunityGovernance
Whether it’s deploying low–interest home loans with nonconventional credit requirements, raising a $200M global reparations fund, or investing in Black– and Native-led cooperatives focused on market–driven climate solutions, community-governed integrated capital funds are a key component to building a regenerative economy.
We support these funds and their leaders to raise and deploy multiple kinds of capital, make collective decisions, and to make life easy for investees so they can take on a more vocal and proactive role by focusing on impact.
Benefits
Focus on Impact with Agility
The work of governing a fund requires information to move seamlessly, real-time communication, and money to move quickly. With your Community Governed Fund at Possibility Labs, you’ll have:
- Flexibility to design loan terms that center borrowers, move large grants to businesses, and make non-extractive equity investments
- An integrated financial management platform that allows you to manage integrate capital deployment, communicate with collaborators, and move money quickly to borrowers and grantees
- A team of experts to strategically think through complex challenges that may arise in the raising or deploying of integrated capital


Leverage Our Integrated Capital Tools
We help your fund receive and deploy capital through our Integrated Capital services which include grants, loans, investments, and guarantees.
Guidance to Manage Your Fund
We guide you to become a Managed Organization, so you can successfully govern your community loan fund. We also help set up a supporting organization to establish your own legal entity that is governed at a local level and gives you and your team more autonomy.
