THE ORGANIZATION

Accion Opportunity Fund is an unparalleled financial support system that provides small business owners with access to capital, networks, and coaching. We work to build inclusive and accessible options for these determined business owners. For over 30 years we have deployed over $1 billion in over 35,000 loans and served 4 million business owners with educational resources. Our client base is nearly 90% from underserved communities.

In addition to providing resources and loans to small businesses, we also conduct original research, advocate for policy changes, and finance community construction projects in low-income neighborhoods through our New Markets Tax Credit program.

AOF is on a journey to both scale our impact and become financially sustainable. We’re building a better system for underserved small businesses and a workplace where passionate problem-solvers, data-driven thinkers, and small business champions thrive.

In November 2025, we submitted our Phase 2 Business Plan to the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA) as part of our application to charter proposed AOF Federal Credit Union. The proposed credit union will be digital first, federally chartered and focused on member business loans. As of March 31, 2026, the Phase 2 submission remains under NCUA review. The approval process is expected to take place over the next few months.
