Together,
we can build a strong and sustainable Eastern Kentucky, rooted in hope and inclusion.
We believe in creating an economy that is more diverse, sustainable, equitable and resilient.
Grow
We want business financing to work for you.
We are a Community Development Financial Institution and a non-profit—not a bank. This means we can offer greater flexibility and lend to folks who may not otherwise qualify. We can also pay for all or a portion of a consulting project to help your business or organization succeed.
Sustain
We can help you save money.
The Mountain Association’s energy experts are tackling the problem of high energy bills in Eastern Kentucky. We help businesses, nonprofits, public agencies and homeowners find much-needed energy savings.
