Nonprofits need funding for facilities, equipment, program expansion, and cash flow management between grant disbursements. The timing mismatch between when grants are awarded and when funds actually arrive can create serious operational strain, especially for organizations scaling their programs or taking on new initiatives. Bay Street Lending connects 501(c)(3) organizations with lenders who understand nonprofit revenue models including grants, donations, and program fees. From lines of credit that bridge grant timing gaps to SBA loans for facility purchases, we help mission-driven organizations secure capital without compromising their programs.
