What This All Means to
NCB Capital Impact People
"I have long been interested in the flow of capital and how to make that capital flow to the people who need it and deserve it most. I believe the power of NCB Capital Impact comes from the fact we are not just a link in the chain of capital, but rather a rock redirecting the stream."
- Ian Wiesner, Loan Officer
"I came to NCB Capital Impact to work with The Green House project. This is a natural step in my life work towards transforming nursing homes. It feels like this replication initiative is a very good fit with NCB Capital Impact and its mission and vision. I enjoy telling people about NCB Capital Impact, it's history and mission. People want to know that there is a good fit and synergy and are always interested in the organization."
- Anna Ortigara, Communications & Outreach Director for The Green House Project
"We have seen a lot on the news during the last year about those that 'lost it all,' but there is still no focus on those 'that never had.' NCBCI is special because we care about those that are often forgotten, misunderstood or unwanted."
- Sherinda Robinson, Loan Officer
"When I began interviewing at non-profits, I realized that besides who I worked for, an important factor to consider was who did my work benefit. While I think that some people can be fulfilled working at a job that has little or no social value, I think that my life experience suggests working for an organization that has direct impact on low income communities is the right environment for me. Having been an uninsured user, not only of the type of health care clinics that we finance at NCB Capital Impact but some of the actual facilities we have financed, it gives me personal satisfaction to know that I can do something each day to insure that the options I was able to utilize remain available to the people who need them."
- Elizabeth Day, Project Coordinator, Oakland, California Office
"I came to the organization a little more than 25 years ago. My compass always had a very strong social justice needle, and prior to my time here true north for me was always about leveling the playing field. But, NCB Capital Impact dwarfs my other working experiences in terms of personal satisifaction and fulfillment. I have never worked with a finer group of commited, passionate and accomplished people -- and my connection with people is first and foremost my driver. The core value of innovation/change is a principle which is at my core, and to see it embraced by the entire organiation gives me a personal feeling of confidence about our vision fulfilment. And to actually see our progress in operating at scale and making such a significant change in peoples' lives ... this is what continues to drive me."
- Terry Simonette, President & CEO
