CASE STUDY
CHiFA accelerates its launch by leveraging FJC's lending infrastructure
The Cultural Heritage Finance Alliance (CHiFA) invests in cultural heritage sites around the world, raising loan capital from foundations and other mission-lenders. To enable this new organization to remain lean and focused on mission, FJC brings its scaled operational platform to deliver back office support and ancillary services, including servicing for its international project loan fund. To meet CHiFA’s unique needs, FJC mixed and recombined elements of our Fiscal Sponsorship Program and our lending capabilities. Learn more.
“FJC brings the advantage of more than 25 years of experience in loan servicing and financial management, which will give us, our partners and investors confidence that we will launch our initiative with a high degree of operational excellence.”

Use Your Donors' Philanthropic Capital as Your Line of Credit
How it works
- FJC does not have a ready source of capital available to lend at below-market rates, but we can partner with donors that are willing to fund these loans via a DAF account
- Typically these donors are motivated primarily by impact and willing to provide loans on more flexible terms and at lower interest rates, sometimes as low as 1% per annum.

Notice for Grantseekers
FJC is not able to accept unsolicited proposals for grant support, because our grantmaking is responsive to our donors’ recommendations.
