Community Loans
- A very useful tool to help community organisations
- Made about 25 community loans - $9K to $3.4m
- No such thing as a free lunch
– somebody has to pay for the use of the capital – charge any concessions made on interest to our grants budget
- Has to be:
– an income stream – solid due diligence – appropriate security – a preparedness (by us) to enforce security
- Means we can recycle capital, and leverage
- ur grants budget
Treatment of Interest
- Example:
– Lend $800,000 to community organisation X – “Opportunity cost” interest rate = 6% – Interest forgone therefore $48,000 p.a. – Approve grant of $48,000 to community
- rganisation X to “pay” this interest cost
- Accounting entry is:
– Dr Grant approved $48,000 – Cr Interest received $48,000
- So the amount remaining in our annual
grants budget is therefore $48,000 less; we are recognising the use of our capital

Velodrome – a loan that went off track
Velodrome – a loan that went off track
- We had major reservations:
– Very specialised facility, hard to justify $11m of community funding – Very optimistic operational budget, which we believed they would never achieve. They forecast that they would have positive cashflow, we forecast an annual operating cash deficit of around $1m
- We granted $1.6m (they’d asked us for $4m), and said if you
can raise the rest of the capital funds needed, good for you
- Signed a contract to build it, when they didn’t have
all the money they needed
- Ended up with an $800K shortfall, with contractors
needing to be paid
- Bugger!
Velodrome – a loan that went off track
- We agreed to advance them a loan of $800K to
cover their shortfall
- Two years later they said we’d promised to convert
the loan to a grant. We hadn’t.
- By then their annual operating deficit was around
$1m
- We called a meeting of all the major funders: - ILT,
ICC, SDC, and us, and brokered a deal:
- - ILT would grant $500K p.a.
- - ICC would grant $400K per annum
- - SDC would grant $50K per annum
- - we would grant $80K per annum, and write off
loan principal over 10 years
