LiftFund Achieves Coveted “A” Rating for Financial Strength & Performance
We’re excited to share some big news about our commitment to financial responsibility. Last year, LiftFund was proud to land an Aeris four-star Impact Management rating with an A- for financial strength and performance. In just one year, we climbed a rigorous mountain, and we bumped up to the prestigious A rating!
Aeris is the leading expert in evaluating the financial and impact performance of Community Development Financial Institutions (CDFIs). Since 2004, the nation’s top community investors have relied on Aeris’ data and ratings to guide their investment decisions.
“This prestigious recognition is no easy task, and it’s one that not every CDFI can achieve,” said LiftFund CEO Amy Hereford. “It underscores our commitment to excellence, transparency and accountability, as well as our dedication to our mission and to our community.”
Investors and partners rely on the Aeris rating to show that
- LiftFund is financially strong and healthy.
- We prioritize efficient resource management.
- We’re fulfilling our mission in supporting small businesses.
- LiftFund has robust impact measurement and reporting systems in place.
- We demonstrate sound risk management and governance.
More Than A Badge of Honor
An A rating indicates to partners that we deliver on our promises. This accomplishment is a testament to the hard work, dedication, and integrity that LiftFund demonstrates in serving our communities.
Leveling up and qualifying for this award was a rigorous process. We are honored to receive this recognition, and we are committed to maintaining the high standards it represents as we continue our mission to empower entrepreneurs and strengthen communities.
