About the company
Peoplefund is a tax-exempt nonprofit Community Development Corporation and Community Development Financial Institution (CDFI) based in Austin, Texas, registered with SAM.gov since June 2005. The organization provides federal grant awards in the form of financial assistance and support services designed to expand access to capital and economic opportunity for underserved entrepreneurs and communities. Peoplefund specializes in empowering minority-owned, women-owned, and low-income businesses by offering critical financial resources, microloans, business training, and technical assistance to small business concerns in areas that lack adequate access to affordable financial products and services.
Peoplefund has received substantial federal grant funding from the Small Business Administration's Office of Capital Access, the Community Development Financial Institutions Fund (CDFI Fund), and the Department of Commerce's Economic Development Administration. Through the SBA Microloan Program (CFDA 59.046), Peoplefund has received multiple formula and project grants totaling over $3.6 million across multiple award periods (2021-2026), enabling the organization to provide direct microloans up to $50,000, business training, and technical assistance to startup, newly established, and growing small businesses. Additionally, Peoplefund received a $250,000 project grant under the SBA's Program for Investment in Microenterprises (PRIME) program in 2023 to deliver technical assistance and financial literacy education. The CDFI Fund has awarded Peoplefund multiple project grants, including a Community Development Financial Institutions Award in September 2024 extending through December 2027 to build organizational lending capacity, a $2+ million CDFI Emergency Response Program Award in April 2023 (extending through 2028) to support COVID-19 pandemic recovery, and a CDFI Rapid Response Program Award in June 2021 to address pandemic-related economic impacts. Furthermore, the Department of Commerce's Economic Development Administration awarded Peoplefund a $2.5 million project grant in April 2021 for the CARESACT Competitive Revolving Loan Fund (RLF) to establish capital and technical assistance programs for businesses and entrepreneurs in Austin impacted by economic changes. Across all awards, Peoplefund operates with no identified subrecipients, directly delivering services focused on expanding access to microfinance, development services, loan loss reserves, capital reserves, and organizational capacity building to low-to-moderate income individuals and communities across Texas.
