NCRP, January 8, 2019: NCRC turns banks into social justice backers
The National Community Reinvestment Coalition (NCRC) has pushed banks to provide $84 billion in lending and philanthropy for low-to-moderate-income communities and communities of color in the last 2 years.
The organization leverages a 600-member network of community institutions to build equal access to credit, capital and banking services for marginalized people.
But big numbers haven’t given NCRC a big head: All of its work remains grounded in grassroots organizing.
