Support McLennan County small businesses

McCIF and PeopleFund joined forces to deliver more impact

In October 2025, McCIF and PeopleFund formed a strategic alliance to expand local impact. McCIF’s mission, Waco office, and local team remain rooted in the community, backed by PeopleFund’s broader resources. Your gifts continue to support McCIF’s work in our community and are now processed through PeopleFund.

What this means for McLennan County

Joining forces with PeopleFund gives local small businesses more capital and more support, while keeping decisions close to home.

Same local mission

Our Waco office stays open as a hub for lending and small business advising, and McCIF’s revolving loan fund continues as a permanent fund.

More ways to grow

Local businesses can now access PeopleFund microloans, SBA 7(a) and 504 loans, and the PeopleFund Small Business Accelerator.

Local voices on the board

Former McCIF board members now serve on PeopleFund’s board, so McLennan County keeps a seat at the table.
