Secure, Impactful Cash Management
What is Impact Cash®?
Make a Difference with Your Money.
Impact Cash® is a secure and socially conscious cash management solution available to corporations, foundations, and individual investors. Every dollar you deposit is 100% FDIC/NCUA insured, giving you the security and peace of mind you need while helping to make a positive impact in underserved communities.
How It Works:
Your funds (100% FDIC/NCUA insured) are deposited into mission-driven financial institutions, including Community Development Financial Institutions (CDFIs) banks and credit unions. These institutions use deposits to fuel lending for causes such as affordable housing, small business growth, racial equity, and climate change.
With CNote’s evaluation and monitoring systems, you can trust that your money is making a real difference. Plus, you’ll receive annual impact reports, complete with metrics and stories illustrating how your deposits are driving meaningful change.
