Finanta is a nonprofit financial institution focused on community development, offering a dual access point to capital through a loan program and a credit union to serve areas where funding is scarce. It serves entrepreneurs, small businesses, and nonprofits across greater Philadelphia and parts of eastern and southern Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Delaware, with the goal of supporting job creation, affordable housing, and neighborhood revitalization. Founded in 1992 as Community First Fund, the organization operates under the Finanta name and maintains offices in Philadelphia, Lancaster, Allentown, Harrisburg, Reading, and York.

Finanta's approach emphasizes turning vacant buildings into community assets, expanding housing options, educational opportunities, and access to essentials such as food and healthcare, while providing capital and guidance to start-ups and growing enterprises in underserved markets. Recent development activity includes expansion with a new Reading location and the launch of a local credit union branch, reflecting ongoing geographic growth.
