Gulf Coast Housing Partnership has had the privilege of working with the Erich & Hannah Sachs Foundation for over 5 years. Program Related Investments through the Erich & Hannah Sachs Foundation have allowed GCHP to create critical affordable housing in target Gulf Coast communities. GCHP has been able to leverage $26 dollars for every $1 invested by the foundation – allowing significant additional funds to impact the vulnerable communities GCHP serves. The Erich & Hannah Sachs Foundation is a partner in the truest sense of the word. In addition to financial support through a PRI, the Foundation has gone above and beyond to help - providing technical support to local foundations in the communities we serve, helping those foundations increase their own long term capacity to serve.
Friendship Bridge has been partnering with the Erich & Hannah Sachs Foundation since October of 2013. They not only share our passion for investing in women, but are also a pleasure to work with. Their trust in Friendship Bridge lets us do our work in the field as effectively and efficiently as possible. The Foundation’s lower interest rate helps us invest more money into our clients. In addition, the longer loan terms they offer help us focus on alleviating poverty as opposed to refinancing our debt capital. We are extremely honored to be a partner with the Erich & Hannah Sachs Foundation.
Artspace and the Erich & Hannah Sachs Foundation have partnered since 2008 to help create affordable live/work space and working studio space for artist families and creative businesses. Beginning with an initial PRI in 2008 that has since been extended and expanded, The Erich & Hannah Sachs Foundation PRI support has been instrumental in the creation of the Tannery Digital Media and Creative Arts Center on the Tannery Ats Center Campus in Santa Cruz, CA and in the creation of the Bell School arts Campus in the Treme neighborhood of New Orleans, LA. The success of this PRI has helped Artspace work with other foundation partners to leverage additional PRI opportunities that are critical in helping further our work. Thank you the Erich & Hannah Sachs Foundation!
