The UP Community Fund is committed to investing in small business owners—particularly those with strong potential but limited access to traditional financing. We focus on fueling the success of hardworking entrepreneurs by providing the capital, tools, and strategic support they need to grow, compete, and create jobs.

We believe that every business with a solid foundation and a strong vision deserves a fair opportunity to thrive. For years, too many local entrepreneurs have been overlooked—not for lack of talent or determination, but due to limited capital access. We're here to change that.

Minority- and women-owned businesses have long been drivers of local economies. Their continued success is vital to America’s prosperity. The UP Community Fund is proud to support the growth of these businesses—empowering owners, building wealth, and strengthening communities across the country.

Nile River Capital

“Nile River Capital’s goal is to finance each client while establishing lasting relationships with project owners that lead to job and wealth creation opportunities.”

 

Nile River Capital was formed to address contractors’ short-term cash needs.  A contractor may be able to complete the work required, but may not be able to wait 30, 60, or even 90 days to receive payment.  This is a challenge for construction progress payment contracts and maintenance contracts. 

Nile River Capital brings a solution to this challenge.  We purchase your approved invoices, and your customer pays us.  We can purchase one invoice, or we can purchase all invoices – we are here to meet your capital needs.

Nile River Capital combines construction, finance, consulting, and social impact experience to create solutions that help small businesses grow sustainably.  Through Urban Advisors, the parent company, we have spent the last 11 years developing capital solutions that empower small businesses, which ultimately creates jobs and stabilizes communities.
