Nikishka Iyengar (Copy) Nikishka Iyengar Nikishka (she/her) is the founder and CEO of The Guild, focused on building community wealth and power through cooperative models of real estate and entrepreneurship. She has over a decade of experience in building the solidarity economy as a consultant, entrepreneur, writer and organizer. She uses a ‘systems thinking’ and emergent strategy approach across her work in finance, racial justice, equitable development, and climate action. Nikishka believes "another world [beyond racial capitalism] is not only possible, she is on her way" (as Arundhati Roy puts it), and wrestles with that possibility throughout her work in building alternative models of capital, ownership, and governance. She is a co-host and producer of the podcast Road to Repair. Nikishka is a 2022 UC Berkeley Terner Housing Fellow, 2020 Aspen Institute Fellow, 2020 Common Future Fellow, 2018 RSF Social Finance Fellow, and was a 2016 “30 Under 30” Greenbiz leader in sustainability. As a mother to a toddler and infant, spare time is a foreign concept to Nikishka, but she is passionate about weaving the same questions around our collective liberation that she applies in her work to her parenting. Nikishka sees the potential for high impact with the breadth of what Olamina is doing and the amount of capital it’s stewarding. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67aa7ddb4b46fc7220a9a4a4/1739226648603-HAZ26JS13QA5FXRTZ3A1/Screen%25252BShot%25252B2020-10-23%25252Bat%25252B2.43.29%25252BPM.jpg Olamina Cab - Prairie Rose Seminole (Copy) Prairie Rose Seminole Prairie Rose (they/them) is a citizen of the Three Affiliated Tribes of North Dakota, and descendent of the Sahnish/Arikara, Northern Cheyenne, and Lakota Nations. Their work is rooted in making a positive difference for Native people through public policy, community organization, and education. Prairie Rose currently serves as the program manager for Advance Native Political Leadership Action Fund, the only national Native American-led organization working to address the vast inequities and pervasive barriers that exist for Native people to achieve a more reflective democracy in U.S. politics. They have also served on the Midwest advisory council to the Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis, advising on labor, nonprofits, and tribal government, and hosted a radio show focused on community building and reconciliation efforts. Prairie Rose believes that moving from an unjust to a just system begins with deconstructing systems of oppression, acknowledging the truth of how these systems came to be. They see our economy as one that feeds off the ills that are destroying our earth, separating people, and contributing to the racial and cultural divisions across the country. Prairie Rose has joined the Community Advisory Board for the opportunity to do work with a group that is willing to invest in organizations that have been left out of systems, and help build their capacity. They have seen little resources going into the hardest-hit communities, and Olamina’s interest in investing in these communities gives them hope. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67aa7ddb4b46fc7220a9a4a4/1739226648596-CSSCNMOTTUWC32VP4GJY/IMG_9243.jpeg Olamina Cab - Cheryl Cherry (Copy) Cheryl Cherry Cheryl (she/her) is the former Managing Director for CornerSquare Community Capital and the NC Rural Center. Her diverse knowledge in the financial sector is largely due to over two decades of experience in various roles such as president, financial accountant, and lender and underwriter for consumer, small business, and mortgage loans. Until recently, her career path centered mostly around the banking and financial arena, where she spent the bulk of her career fighting for affordable and fair lending to the underserved communities and advocating for individuals to build and create generational wealth with credit unions. Being that policy and advocacy work are at the fabric and core of who she is, she decided to switch paths and continue championing for rural communities in a different capacity - the public health sector. Currently, she is a graduate student at East Carolina University in the School of Public Health. Cheryl believes the health issues plaguing our rural and minority communities across the country are troubling. It is her desire to mesh her financial and public health knowledge, ensuring people receive adequate access to financial and healthcare services while advocating for fair and equitable health policy changes. Cheryl believes that the lack of African-American representation in executive-level roles, and the limited investment in African-American owned businesses by way of limited access to capital and intentional patronage for corporate America, have stifled growth and development in the African-American community for far too long. Cheryl is interested in Olamina largely because of its deliberate impact on disenfranchised populations. She believes that people whose identities align with that of her own will benefit from Olamina. She sees serving on the Community Advisory Board as an opportunity that will afford her more ownership in a narrative that is important to her both personally and professionally. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67aa7ddb4b46fc7220a9a4a4/1739226648588-AU55SQWW5KVZZG67UZCA/Mariela%2BCedeno_Headshot.jpeg Olamina Cab - Mariela Cedeño (Copy) Mariela Cedeño Mariela (she/her) is the product of her Venezuelan and El Salvadoran roots, and Bay Area upbringing. She has spent her career cultivating local economies, resilient food systems, and new models of investment that center and uplift Black, Indigenous and POC entrepreneurs, farmers, land stewards, and community-based organizations. She is a co-founder of Manzanita Capital Collective, a collective working to shift power and capital to BIPOC-led food, agriculture, and land stewardship to advance racial and economic justice. Prior to Manzanita, Mariela was the Interim Executive Director of Mandela Partners, an Oakland-based non-profit organization that works to increase access to healthy food, good jobs, and ownership opportunities. At Mandela Partners, Mariela spent more than a decade seeding and growing economic opportunity initiatives – including: a food hub, restaurant, and community food hall; entrepreneurship and wealth building programs; and non-extractive capital products. Mariela has a wide breadth of experience in community-rooted economic development, integrated capital, financial planning, collaborative stewardship, and more. Mariela holds B.A. degrees in Economics and International Relations from the University of California, Davis, and an M.A. in Latin American Development from Vanderbilt University.

The Olamina Fund launched in October 2019 as a $40M loan fund with the goal of addressing the historic lack of access to capital in American communities — particularly Black, Native, and rural — who have faced decades of divestment and intentional extraction. Our core impact thesis was built around the principles of representation, community-centered products and services, access to capital, and community wealth-building. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67aa7ddb4b46fc7220a9a4a4/1739226635100-DPSMIMGOU97KSLKCOYCJ/image-asset.png Past Newsletter - The Candide Group 2022 Impact Report Is Here!

We didn't think it was right that big banks were funding private prisons, profiting off of immigrant detention and mass incarceration. So we did something about it. It is with great pleasure that we write to inform you that the case is finally over and that the truth proved victorious: we won! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67aa7ddb4b46fc7220a9a4a4/1739226635113-UH9OP0C6YEBFKH3QC9DT/image-asset.jpeg Past Newsletter - Autumn 2022 Newsletter (Copy) Autumn 2022 Newsletter We're celebrating a milestone: Candide Group has officially directed over $200m of client capital into 110+ impactful companies, funds, and organizations! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67aa7ddb4b46fc7220a9a4a4/1739226635119-520OT0CK60B96LDKLH9Z/image-asset.png Past Newsletter - Summer 2022 Newsletter (Copy) Summer 2022 Newsletter This newsletter feels extra special, because we’re announcing some updates that have been over a year in the making. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67aa7ddb4b46fc7220a9a4a4/1739226635139-F21KAILGE9E2D1TZMRYR/image-asset.png Past Newsletter - 2021 Candide Roundup (Copy) 2021 Candide Roundup This last year has challenged every facet of us, and been a prime example of how resilience in the absence of growth is still stagnation.

And with the perseverance of activists/entrepreneurs who had spent a lifetime fighting to fix our food system, Organically Grown found investors like Purpose Network, RSF and Candide Group who were willing to think outside the box and make their vision a reality.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67aa7ddb4b46fc7220a9a4a4/1739226623436-7DETQYBJLS6P0NPMU1CS/1_tq6pd1TJOpPz7rsAG2SN1A.jpg Articles by CG - How to be a young woman (or anything other than a grey-haired white man) at a business conference and still get shit done (Copy) How to be a young woman (or anything other than a grey-haired white man) at a business conference and still get shit done Morgan Simon, Medium Sept. 12, 2019 “It’s hard to get work done at a big conference when people carry tremendous unconscious bias, and are often likely to discount your value based on your gender, race, age or even cost of clothing.

A groundbreaking study from Harvard Business Review showed that companies that adopted strong labor and environmental policies had double the market cap, 18 years later. Given the long-term time horizons of many investors, including impact investors, this should be music to our ears, and lead us to value companies differently. It would also drive the movement toward full-cost accounting to internalize what are conveniently considered today as externalities, like environmental destruction and income inequality. While not every social good can, or should, be translated into economic value—ideally, our economy should be structured toward human thriving.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67aa7ddb4b46fc7220a9a4a4/1739226623447-SKP08T3KJ4SY17RNCV6G/OGC_packing-organic-bell-peppers.jpg Articles by CG - Heads up, investors: It’s not all about you (Copy) Heads up, investors: It’s not all about you Aner Ben-Ami, Impact Alpha Dec 18, 2018 “A 40-year old produce distributor in Eugene, Oregon may not be where you’d expect to find a fix for shareholder capitalism.

(Copy) Can Impact Investing Avoid the Mistakes of Microfinance? Morgan Simon, Harvard Business Review June 8, 2018 "Impact investors over the past decade largely focused on proving that impact investments could achieve a “market rate” or above return profile. Making something wildly profitable will of course attract the attention of financial markets, and thus increase the chances it will scale effectively. Often, however, the elements that make something profitable work counter to those that maximize positive social impact. So it’s important to recognize that if we expect to expand impact investment based primarily on its profitability, we should expect to get just what we set out to create: a tool that has maximized profit over impact." https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67aa7ddb4b46fc7220a9a4a4/1739226623463-DHDTDZ16WM7JORTVVR94/20170403_showmethemoney.jpg Articles by CG - What impact investors can learn from activists (Copy) What impact investors can learn from activists Morgan Simon, Thomas Reuters March 22, 2018 "In 2016 , $119 billion was invested in projects seeking both a social and financial return, such as clean energy and worker owned cooperatives, according to the Global Impact Investing Network, an organisation that seeks to publicize and offer advice on impact investing. But let’s face it: most of these investments are made from the 40th floor of a Wall Street skyscraper. Impact investors may have great intentions, but how do we know if these investments are actually doing social good if we are so far away from the people our investments affect?" https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67aa7ddb4b46fc7220a9a4a4/1739226623470-L2VRO3E7VBNBRJA8L0D7/Home---Hero%2B2.jpg Articles by CG - How 'Black Panther', Drake, And The Theme Of Community Ownership Act As Tools For Liberation (Copy) How 'Black Panther', Drake, And The Theme Of Community Ownership Act As Tools For Liberation Laurika Harris-Kaye, Blavity.com Feb. 23, 2018 "Black celebrities and wealth holders who do not want to repeat the cycles of dependence and oppression we’ve seen in the past would do well to focus on investing their capital into things the black community can own and manage, in a way that prioritizes collective welfare.

As an asset class, it’s uniquely designed to fund disruptive innovations. It does this by funding ventures that are likely to fail, but — if successful — can result in outsized outcomes. For a venture capitalist, seeing 6 or 7 out of 10 portfolio companies fail is part of the playbook. In fact, if VC’s aren’t seeing enough failures in their portfolio, they take it as a sign that they may not be taking enough risk (as Babe Ruth once said: “every strike brings me closer to my next home run”). Good VC’s understand they aren’t looking for a ‘normal distribution’ of outcomes in their portfolio — they’re looking for the “fund maker”. Or in other words, the unicorn. But does that kind of failure rate represent a good deal for (most) founders? How about for society as a whole? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67aa7ddb4b46fc7220a9a4a4/1739226623482-0VKAAR6AW4TGMUPKEWJA/Screenshot%2B2018-04-17%2B12.08.25.png Articles by CG - Lessons Learned from Haiti for Puerto Rico: Charity is a Poor Tool for Rebuilding a Country (Copy) Lessons Learned from Haiti for Puerto Rico: Charity is a Poor Tool for Rebuilding a Country Morgan Simon and Isabelle Clerie, Salon.com Nov. 16 2017 "When it comes to rebuilding a country, not all resources are created equal. Charity and donations can help in the short-term, but harm the economy over the long-term. Private capital can help local businesses get back on their feet, but also perpetuate entrenched inequality. Rebuilding efforts can seem beneficial, but end up going to waste when they don’t account for the needs of communities. Finance and private capital can play a huge role in rebuilding Puerto Rico, but we must draw key lessons from what went wrong in Haiti to ensure that this time, we get it right." https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67aa7ddb4b46fc7220a9a4a4/1739226623488-8SL29T11B695TQCE0R0X/1_wu0QUArBZjhBynqnK2drJQ.png Articles by CG - So, you want to write a book?

vehicles in transit deserts, starting with New York City’s so-called “dollar vans”, an informal transit network that serves more than 100,000 riders daily in the outer boroughs of New York City (Queens and Brooklyn). Dollaride’s $3.3m loan from Afterglow will allow the company to pay for pre-development and project expenses, mainly the down payments for up to 102 electric commuter vehicles and an equal number of charging stations to support those vehicles. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67aa7ddb4b46fc7220a9a4a4/30342485-b61d-4fa6-9f8f-a23d1241bd7d/1759422917196.jpeg Afterglow CEO George Ashton III spoke at NYC Climate Week 2025, presenting the work Afterglow is already doing in the world! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67aa7ddb4b46fc7220a9a4a4/dadb1d93-6a82-485a-b2a7-461f594d641a/hecm.jpg Afterglow Ho'ahu Energy Cooperative Molokai (HECM) is a community-owned and managed energy cooperative whose profits are shared with its subscribers and vested toward community ownership of its projects. The cooperative, located on the island of Moloka’i, is committed to pioneering energy solutions that foster sovereignty and justice within the island’s rural community. Afterglow’s $3M predevelopment loan will help HECM pay for permits, complete power systems modeling and design, and engineering studies, and make initial equipment deposits for HECM’s first community solar array. The project will increase access to solar by allowing local Molokai residents who face energy costs three times the national average to save at least 20% on their energy bills. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67aa7ddb4b46fc7220a9a4a4/185eaad8-8e03-4825-ae57-0079e88c55a1/54674576361_2c4499b8dd_k.jpg Afterglow Afterglow Investment Manager James Pippim presented on a panel for VertueLab at PNW Climate Week 2025 alongside Afterglow CAB member Aina Abiodun who moderated the panel. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67aa7ddb4b46fc7220a9a4a4/8800056b-fcf4-4f89-9122-9755bf40bd1e/gb_impact.jpg Afterglow Capital Good Fund (CGF) is a nonprofit Community Development Financial Institution (CDFI) headquartered in Providence, RI.
