About NCIF

NCIF provides patient capital to small and emerging natural resource-based businesses. Our investments support business expansion, create employment opportunities, advance sustainable economic development and develop the rural tax base.
NCIF's business clients are located throughout North Carolina, Northeast Tennessee, Southwest Virginia and West Virginia, and have limited access to capital from traditional sources. In addition to providing critical, timely financing, NCIF provides targeted technical assistance to build the non-financial capacity of our clients.
The Natural Capital Investment Fund (NCIF) is certified as both a Community Development Financial Institution and a Community Development Entity.
