Our Loan Finance Service

Our Charity Bank assessors can work with your organisation to agree:

• Short term bridging loans against delayed grants or other identified income such as pre-finance covenanted or contracted income
• Working capital loans
• Loans for building purchase and refurbishment
• “Final brick” loans, which enable you to get on with the project after most of the funds have been raised
• Loans for new developments or for income generation
• Loans to help you build reserves
• Standby commitments where you need to evidence matched funding
• Underwriting to kick start or underpin a fund-raising programme
• Guarantees or performance bonds


We lend up to £1 million pounds.

And we can also arrange:
• Negotiation of larger loans from commercial or other lenders. The largest individual loan facility we have arranged to date is £28 million.
• Mixed funding packages, working with trusts, statutory funders or venture philanthropists to provide a mix of loans, grants, or other funds.
• We may even be able to buy a building which you can ‘earn back’ over time, giving you the time to develop your funding programme.



We also provide leasing and asset finance, to purchase equipment from phone systems to minibuses or larger capital items (click here for more details).
