Capital access fund the capital access fund (caf) is a strategic alliance of cilf and the national urban league to create access to capital for minority communities who face these barriers to economic opportunity and participation in the american economy. Built upon a base of flexible patient capital with affordable interest rates and sound technical assistance and business support services, caf nurtures minority businesses into successful businesses. Many studies have documented that minority owned small businesses experience higher loan denial rates and pay higher interest rates than white-owned businesses even after controlling for differences in creditworthiness. Because of these denial rates, minority owned business must rely more upon owner's equity and less on bank debt. Yet, these minority businesses have less equity because their wealth base is smaller. As a result, minority small businesses launch with less total capitalization than conventional businesses. With inadequate capitalization, these businesses suffer a higher failure rate than white-owned businesses. For example, waverly willis was homeless in part as a result of the great recession. Struggling to get back on his feet, waverly began cutting hair to earn a living. He started working with the urban league of greater cleveland who mentored him through their entrepreneurship center. However, waverly could not qualify for bank debt to support and expand his fledgling business. Through the capital access fund, cilf structured expansion financing that permitted waverly to acquire the nearly vacant building he rented in a low-income neighborhood, renovate it, and expand his businesses. Today, waverly has six barber chairs, providing employment for other low-income community residents, and is renovating the storefront next to him into a beauty parlor. The cafgc a joint initiative of ndc and the national urban league recognizes cilf as its primary lending tool to make loans to minority entrepreneurs. In 2016, cilf hedc's newly certified cdfi, provided six loans totaling $150,500 to small minority entrepreneurs as part of the capital access fund of greater cleveland (cafgc).
