About the company
Liftfund Inc., operating under the doing business as name Accion, is a nonprofit community development financial institution (CDFI) and tax-exempt corporate entity headquartered in San Antonio, Texas. The organization is registered with the federal government as a minority-owned, woman-owned, and Black American-owned business. Liftfund provides financial and technical assistance services to underserved entrepreneurs and small business owners through a combination of federal grant awards, primarily focusing on delivering microloans, business training, counseling, and capacity-building services to populations historically excluded from traditional credit markets.
Liftfund has received substantial federal grant funding across multiple programs and agencies, demonstrating a diverse portfolio of services and deep expertise in community development finance. The organization has been the prime recipient of significant grants from the U.S. Small Business Administration's Microloan Program (CFDA 59.046), receiving multiple formula and project grants totaling over $4.8 million since 2021 to provide microloans up to $50,000 and accompanying technical assistance to startups and growing small businesses. Additional SBA funding has supported Liftfund through the Women's Business Ownership Assistance Program (CFDA 59.043), which provided approximately $600,000 across multiple project grants from 2022 through 2025 to deliver entrepreneurship training and business counseling specifically for women-owned enterprises. The organization also received support through the SBA's Prime Technical Assistance Program (CFDA 59.050), Congressional Grants Program (CFDA 59.059), and Women Veteran Entrepreneurial Training Program to expand its capacity and reach. Beyond the SBA, Liftfund has been awarded significant grants from the Department of the Treasury's Community Development Financial Institutions Fund, including a $1.27 million CDFI Rapid Response Program grant and additional CDFI financial assistance awards to support lending operations and organizational capacity-building in low-to-moderate income communities. The Department of Commerce's Economic Development Administration provided a $1.25 million grant for a revolving loan fund in Las Cruces, New Mexico, while the Department of Housing and Urban Development funded community development and economic development initiative projects. Additionally, Liftfund received AmeriCorps funding through the Corporation for National and Community Service to support service delivery. The organization also serves as a subrecipient under a Department of Commerce Minority Business Development Agency grant administered by the National Association For Latino Community Asset Builders, working to improve lending practices and systems for minority business enterprises. These diverse funding streams enable Liftfund to serve entrepreneurs across Texas and New Mexico, with particular emphasis on women, minorities, low-income individuals, veterans, and other populations facing barriers to accessing traditional credit and business support services.
