Impact Investing

IMPACT INVESTMENTS ARE INVESTMENTS MADE WITH THE INTENTION TO GENERATE POSITIVE, MEASURABLE SOCIAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ALONGSIDE A FINANCIAL RETURN.

Over $1.2 million in loans were provided by the FM Area Foundation to local projects aimed at enhancing the Fargo-Moorhead community. In 2014, the Foundation acquired their office building in Fargo with a 20-year fixedinterest note, preserving their endowment fund and paying similar monthly installments to their previous lease.

Since then, the FM Area Foundation has provided loans to several nonprofit organizations in our area, including Soul Solutions Recovery Center in Fargo, ND. A $300,000 guaranty is helping Soul Solutions secure a five-year lease with Alliance Property Group. Soul Solutions is a new nonprofit that will provide outpatient chemical dependency services to people in Fargo and the surrounding area.

“We're so grateful to the FM Area Foundation for their support in helping us secure our building lease. They took a risk on us by agreeing to be the guarantor for our lease, and we wouldn’t have been able to open our doors without their help. The FM Area Foundation Team and Board were invaluable in making our mission and vision a reality, and we're proud to be able to offer our services thanks to their support.”
