Community Development

Craftsman Technology Group supports organizations and institutions that strengthen our communities and improve society as a whole. We work with organizations committed to ending hunger, reducing prisoner recidivism, resettling refugees, fostering self-sufficiency and other efforts aimed at the common good. We see community development as a natural extension of our core mission.

Our Community Development Practice helps build capacity in those organizations that build capacity in others. We are your partner for customizable industry solutions. As experts in lending, Craftsman’s team produces results to meet the complex and unique needs of the mission-driven organizations they work with. Learn about Salesforce for CDFIs.

Experts in Community Lending

Access to capital can determine whether an individual can successfully start a business, get an education or face difficult and unpredictable circumstances. Beyond the economic benefits to the individual, vibrant small businesses make strong communities. Education empowers and enables people to both realize their own potential and contribute to society. A bridge across difficult and unpredictable circumstances can be the difference to a family recovering from what life has thrown at them. What starts as a benefit for one quickly becomes a benefit for us all.

Fortunately Community Development Financial Institutions (CDFIs), nonprofits, and other social enterprises are trying to bridge the gap by providing loans to those who would not otherwise have access to capital. Craftsman partners with these organizations and has become an expert in meeting the needs of lending organizations in the community development space.

Client Testimonials

 

After struggling to manage a major technology overhaul for 10 months, we were astonished by the experience we had with Craftsman.

 

They immediately understood our business, were able to add value in determining what would help us most, and were highly disciplined in their implementation of a solution that was exactly what we needed.
