Community & Real Estate Development Texas Programs Internship

The Momentus Capital branded family of organizations - which includes Capital Impact Partners, CDC Small Business Finance, 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, and Dallas. We are launching a similar program in Austin for small scale developers.  To date Capital Impact has graduated 200 alumni since the EDI began in 2018, and has an additional 42 participants currently in programs geared for more advanced developers.

Capital Impact seeks highly organized and self-motivated interns to support the National Programs team to serve in various capacities in our highly collaborative environment and mission focused team, supporting the launch of new training programs for real estate developers, including the EDI, and programming to support small businesses.  The ideal candidates are committed to our mission of building inclusive and equitable communities by providing people access to the capital and opportunities they deserve.
