NIIF is an innovative, non-profit investment fund that brings much needed capital to historically
disinvested communities in Baltimore City to support inclusive, equitable growth. As a public-private
partnership created and launched by Baltimore City, NIIF is a place-based fund with loans and
investments targeting Eligible Neighborhoods defined by the City that have suffered for generations
from lack of investment, segregation, and racial discrimination. These neighborhoods, which comprise
roughly 65% of the city, are home to more than 90% of the City’s Black residents. The Fund is an
independent 501(c)(3) organization certified by the US Treasury as a Community Development
Financial Institution (CDFI) and capitalized by a $51.7 million loan from the Baltimore City. Since its
launch in 2019, the Fund has grown rapidly, committing over $35 million to impactful projects and
initiatives to date.
NIIF is committed to a diverse, equitable, and inclusive workplace. From an investment perspective,
we seek to support diversity, equity, and inclusion within the neighborhoods, projects and
organizations that we support. Among other things, this includes investing in projects and
organizations that:
Serve diverse populations and segments of the City that have historically suffered from
redlining and other forms of discrimination;
Have significant minority and/or women-owned leadership and/or ownership within the
sponsoring organization;
Create career opportunities for City residents with a focus on hiring residents from populations
that have been historically-disenfranchised and/or have experienced systemic barriers to
employment; and / or
Promote wealth building for historically disinvested communities.
