LENDonate, Inc. operates a marketplace lending platform designed to connect nonprofits with lenders, including individuals, foundations, impact investors, and banks. The service enables nonprofit borrowers to present programs and secure capital for goals such as real estate, cash flow, or program expansion, with loan terms that are competitive and potentially at or below market rates driven by lender competition. The platform thus facilitates a blended approach to funding that can combine loans and philanthropic support while aiming to deliver a financial return for lenders. Based in Menlo Park, California, the company positions itself at the intersection of financial services and philanthropy, targeting nonprofit organizations seeking substantial funding for initiatives typically requiring at least fifty thousand dollars. LENDonate describes itself as a team with experience in both the financial and nonprofit sectors, and emphasizes a mission to foster impact investing and empower mission-driven organizations. The organization has operated in this space since its early activity in the late 2010s, including a noted partnership announcement in 2019 indicating collaboration with Fire Capital Management as part of its broader network.
