Community Capital Advisors (CCA) is a recalibrated CDFI and technical assistance organization.
Founded in the 1990s as a technical assistance provider, CCA helped design & develop CDFIs, STEM education & social-impact projects for churches and grassroots groups in the Philadelphia, PA region for many years. The organization pivoted from its core mission for seven years (2017–2024) to support transatlantic initiatives. In 2025, we returned to our 1990s roots - not just as a CDFI technical assistance provider supporting third party entities, but a CDFI & technical assistance organization. Thank you for your understanding & support during our rebranding & rebuilding phase.
Community Capital Advisors (CCA) approach to capital solutions for SMEs is based on more than a quarter century peaks & valleys, phoenix cycle as a technical assistance origination
From experience, we offer a clear-headed, “above the fray” value proposition - a sort of “back to the basics” (entrepreneurial) Phoenix-like Rise! We aim to assist and forge alliances with future-focused small entrepreneurs and multi-sector stakeholders who share our commitment to the future – cognizant of the fact that, as Rory Vaden put it, “success is rented, not owned.”

While we expect adequate return on investments (ROI) for CCA & partners, our shared passion is discovering & nurturing new entrepreneurial talent, especially in the missing-middle housing & homeownership market, and the knowledge-based, IP-driven sectors - channeled toward igniting high potential through capital support, strategic guidance and collaborative frameworks. We are a resource organization - working alongside multi-sector stakeholders and skilled, hardworking individuals committed to the entrepreneurial journey.
