AltCap
Founded in 2005 with a mission to provide fair access to capital, AltCap is a critical source of alternative debt financing for communities and entrepreneurs that fall outside the financial mainstream.
About
In 2015, AltCap was certified as a Community Development Financial Institution by the CDFI Fund of the U.S. Department of the Treasury.

- ARTcap: A mircoloan fund for artists

- Veteran Loan Fund
Other AltCap offerings include:
- AltCap Your Biz: Pitch Competition – An annual competition opening fall of each year, the AltCap Your Biz: Pitch Competition lets entrepreneurs submit an application and pitch video describing their business, team and how they plan to take their operation to the next level.
