Mr. Cunningham joined the boards of directors of Capital Impact Partners and CDC Small Business Finance in 2021, when the two organizations formally came together.

Momentus Securities has launched with the goal of driving institutional capital to America’s small businesses and nonprofits — and positioning “social impact” as a fully investable asset class for institutional investors.

“This job is truly about helping people, and it feels great to be recognized for the impact I am having on small business owners,” said Torres Baltys, a Senior Small Business Loan Officer with CDC Small Business Finance. “Every time I talk to a client, I try to think of them as if they were family — how would I want them to be treated, and how can I help them reach their goal? And if I can’t help them right now, how can I help them be knowledgeable and set a plan for the future so that they can still achieve their goals and dreams?”

CDC Small Business Finance received two awards from the U.S. Small Business Administration’s (SBA) Michigan District Office for helping the state's small business owners get access to the capital and opportunities they deserve.

Investors continue to recognize that Capital Impact Partners delivers a strong financial performance while bringing a continuum of capital to disinvested communities, helping these communities have the chance they deserve to thrive.

Capital Impact Partners and HousingWorks Austin have launched the Austin Small Developer Training, a new program that provides small-scale real estate developers from underrepresented communities in Austin with the tools they need to grow their businesses — helping them to be more involved in the region’s booming real estate market and, in turn, to create more affordable housing.
