Mission

EXODUS LENDING WORKS WITH FINANCIALLY EXCLUDED MINNESOTANS TO ADVANCE ECONOMIC JUSTICE THROUGH CONSUMER LENDING, COMMUNITY ORGANIZING, AND ADVOCACY. WE AIM TO BREAK THE CYCLE OF FINANCIAL ABUSE, DISINVESTMENT, AND DISTRESS FOR LOW-INCOME COMMUNITIES AND COMMUNITIES OF COLOR WHICH THE CURRENT CREDIT AND BANKING SYSTEM EXCLUDES, EXPLOITS, AND ENTRAPS AT AN ALARMING RATE. OUR VISION IS TO EXPAND ACCESS TO SMALL DOLLAR-STABILIZING CAPITAL FOR FINANCIALLY EXCLUDED AND EXTRACTED MINNESOTANS WHILE BUILDING COMMUNITY POWER AND AGENCY TO PREVENT AND ELIMINATE PREDATORY LENDING SCHEMES IN OUR STATE AND NATION. WE DO THIS BY PROVIDING IMMEDIATE RELIEF TO MINNESOTANS EXPERIENCING FINANCIAL STRESS OR TRAUMA THROUGH ONE OF OUR 0% INTEREST CONSUMER SMALL-DOLLAR LOANS AND INVITING IMPACTED COMMUNITIES INTO OUR ADVOCACY AND ORGANIZING COALITION, MINNESOTANS FOR FAIR LENDING.
