Our Citizenship Loan covers the cost of becoming a US citizen for legal residents of Rhode Island. As citizens, borrowers can participate in the democratic process and push for change at the ballot box. Citizens also gain access to more social services and can petition family members to come to the US. Unlike banks, the Capital Good Fund requires no collateral and no minimum credit score from our borrowers. Rather, our lending decisions are based on your character and ability to repay.
