Who Is High Impact Financial Analysis?
High Impact Financial Analysis was founded after Peter saw a gap in the community development financial institution (CDFI) sector. “The CDFI sector had grown a lot over the past 10 years, but the service industry around it didn’t keep up,” he says. “I saw an opportunity to create a consultancy that could help spread best practices and give growing CDFIs the support they needed to grow sustainably.”
High Impact Financial Analysis helps lenders and investors fund projects that support communities. They focus on balancing risk and mission, ensuring that investments can make the most positive impact. Their work helps fund projects that traditional banks often overlook.
Their efforts are vital to the community development financial institution (CDFI) sector, helping underfunded communities access the resources they need.
