Nonprofit Loans

Waiting on grant funding shouldn’t mean pausing your programs, delaying payroll, or turning away those you serve.

The Mountain Association’s nonprofit loans are designed to keep your work flowing because we know Eastern Kentucky is counting on you.

We understand nonprofits—because we are one and we work with them every day. Timing of funding matters, and your mission can’t wait. Our goal is to help you stay focused on impact, not cash flow.

We are now offering 5% fixed interest rate loans, designed around:

  • Delayed grant reimbursements
  • Seasonal cash flow challenges
  • Bridging government/foundation awards
  • Scaling programs while awaiting funding

We are a nonprofit lender and we offer flexible payment schedules, along with a variety of free services like one-on-one support from a business coach and energy experts to help determine ways of lowering your utility bills.

Note: decisions for loans under $50,000 are typically made within 2-10 business days. Larger loans have a longer processing time.
