Community LIFT

Our Mission is to revitalize neighborhoods through strategic investments in the areas of human capacity building and economic and community development that results in sustainable, thriving communities.

LIFT was created on November 10, 2010, as a local community development intermediary and as the only one of its kind in Memphis, TN to fill the void of scaled, comprehensive neighborhood redevelopment. LIFT provides a clearinghouse to aggressively pursue access to and gain the trust of wider capital and political markets, with the purpose of channeling funding from public and private sources to make sound investments in resource-poor neighborhoods and community development organizations. LIFT has an affiliate "emerging" Community Development Financial Institution (CDFI) or non-traditional bank – River City Capital Investment Corporation (River City).
