MADISON, Wis. - s4story -- Hope Community Capital announces a new series of free educational webinars running monthly from April through November 2026, each designed to equip mission-driven organizations with practical frameworks, tools, and insights for navigating complex capital, development readiness, and real estate strategy challenges.

"We created this series to demystify capital so leaders can move forward with clarity, confidence, and a deep understanding of what each funding decision means for their mission," said Carrie Sanders, CEO & Founder of Hope Community Capital. "Too often, capital decisions are made under pressure or with incomplete information. Our goal is to help leaders step back, evaluate alignment, and make decisions that strengthen their work over the long term."

Each month, HCC experts will guide participants through a focused topic, offering actionable guidance relevant to professionals working in affordable housing, community facilities, faith-based property redevelopment, CDFI lending, mission-oriented development, and other community‑focused real estate efforts. The complete schedule of educational webinars, includes:

• April: Mission‑Driven Development: Reimagining Faith-based Campuses for Community Flourishing | Wednesday, April 22, 2026  
• May: Innovations in Affordable Housing Finance | Wednesday, May 20, 2026
• June: New Market Tax Credits (NMTC) 101 for Community Facilities | Wednesday, June 17, 2026
• July: CDFI Strategy: Innovating Products, Raising Capital, Shaping Direction | Thursday, July 23, 2026

• October: CDFI Compliance: What You Need to Know Before It Becomes a Problem | Wednesday, October 7, 2026

"Not all capital moves your mission forward," Sanders emphasized. "Before you say yes to the money, make sure it aligns—with your mission, your capacity, and where you're trying to go."
