Opportunity Finance Network (OFN) used CapNexus to connect with The Reinvestment Fund (TRF) on a healthy foods financing project for a supermarket in a Baltimore food desert. OFN had been interested in participations with its network members, and CapNexus provided information about specific transactions that were in their members’ pipelines. “CapNexus is an efficient way for finding transactions. The CapNexus platform was very helpful as it gave us reliable information on current deals and connected us with people that were serious about finding valued partners,” said Wanda Speight, Executive Vice President, Financial Services, OFN.   TRF had posted information about the supermarket, prompting a conversation between OFN and TRF that ultimately led to OFN’s $2 million leveraged loan participation as part of a New Markets Tax Credit deal led by TRF. The resulting ShopRite supermarket opened its doors in 2014 in Baltimore’s Howard Park, significantly improving access to healthy food in a food desert neighborhood.
