Mission Asset Fund (MAF)

Founded in 2007 in San Francisco’s Mission District, Mission Asset Fund (MAF) is a national nonprofit dedicated to helping low-income and immigrant communities become more visible, active, and successful in the financial mainstream. MAF is the leading provider of Lending Circles, a social-lending program that helps participants open bank accounts, build credit history, and save money. By formalizing and reporting the traditional practice of community lending to credit bureaus, MAF helps individuals build the financial foundation necessary for economic security and long-term success.
