National Training & Curriculum Development Internship

The Momentus Capital branded family of organizations - which includes Capital Impact Partners, CDC Small Business Finance, Momentus Securities, and Ventures Lending Technologies - is transforming how capital and investments flow into communities to provide people access to the capital and opportunities they deserve. We are working to reinvent traditional financial systems that have failed to address systemic issues of inequality, economic empowerment, and the widening racial wealth gap by offering a continuum of financial, knowledge, and social capital to help local leaders build inclusive and equitable communities and create generational wealth. This includes a comprehensive package of loan products, impact investment opportunities, training and business advising programs, and technology services that advance locally-led solutions. Our suite of products and services, experience, and scope will foster equitable job creation, wealth building, and economic mobility.

Position Summary

Capital Impact, seeing the need to offer pathways for real estate developers to grow and succeed to vision and deliver impactful housing and other developments,  created the Equitable Development Initiative (EDI).  The EDI is a multifaceted program aligning education, networking and access to capital for these growing developers seeking to hone their expertise as builders and business owners.  Capital Impact began the EDI  in Detroit and expanded it to the greater Washington DC region, San Francisco Bay area, Cleveland, and Dallas. We also launched a similar program in Austin for small scale developers.
