Learn about Community Bonds – a social finance tool empowering ordinary individuals to invest directly into impactful projects led by charities, non-profit organizations and cooperatives.

See how this tool is helping affordable housing organizations access the capital they need to bring their projects to life, while engaging their communities in a meaningful way. Explore real world examples in action and assess if Community Bonds could be a fit for your organization.
