Conservation Loan Collaborative
A shared fund management platform
Funding for conservation and community resilience is complex and constantly shifting. Public and private dollars rarely align in timing or scale, leaving critical opportunities underfunded. Innovative conservation finance tools can bridge these gaps, but they are often resource-intensive and out of reach for many organizations. The Conservation Loan Collaborative (CLC) is our shared platform that delivers fund design, management, and advisement services. The CLC combines the infrastructure of a professional fund manager with the accessibility and mission alignment of a nonprofit partner.
The CLC offers two flexible service models:
Project Example: National Park Foundation Revolving Loan Fund
Project Example: Catch Together
As a one-stop shop, the CLC activates donors as investors and accelerates the pace and scale of conservation and resilience work. We accomplish this by:
Providing access to revolving loan funds and other interim finance solutions.
Pooling grants, investments, and low-interest loans from diverse supporters.
Securing ready access to low-cost capital when opportunities arise.
Demonstrating measurable impact with transparent reporting and storytelling.
