Our Mission

We work to ignite economic growth to make western Pennsylvania a thriving region for all. Bridgeway Capital provides capital and educational opportunities to increase business and job growth, build entrepreneurial capacity, and sustain vital services that strengthen our communities.

Founded in 1990, Bridgeway Capital was originally named the Community Loan Fund of Southwestern Pennsylvania (CL Fund) until we changed our name in 2008 to better reflect our mission and vision. Read a brief history of Bridgeway Capital.

Bridgeway Capital is certified as a Community Development Financial Institution (CDFI) by the U.S. Treasury Department and we are a member of the Opportunity Finance Network.
