About Finanta
Investing in people and communities.
We are a private, independent non-profit Community Development Financial Institution (CDFI) whose mission is to provide capital in places where it is not usually available. We seek to create positive change in a community by providing entrepreneurs with access to business development loans for projects that generate jobs, create affordable housing and help to revitalize communities.
Our approach to building vibrant and healthy communities includes increasing development of affordable and market rate housing units, turning vacant buildings into community assets, creating educational opportunities for children, youth, and adults, enhancing access to food and healthcare, and providing the resources necessary for job-creating businesses to start up and grow.
We are proud of the work we do and are fortunate to work with so many community partners making a difference in their communities. We have financed small business and large-scale community development projects across Pennsylvania (Adams, Berks, Bucks, Chester, Cumberland, Dauphin, Delaware, Franklin, Lancaster, Lebanon, Lehigh, Montgomery, Northampton, Perry, Philadelphia, and York), Delaware (Kent, New Castle and Sussex) and New Jersey (Camden, Gloucester and Burlington).
Finanta has offices in Philadelphia, Lancaster, Allentown, Harrisburg, Reading and York.

History
