Community Briefing - Everett K. Sands, CEO & President Lendistry

Everett K. Sands, CEO & President, Lendistry says the memory of his grandfather is the fuel that inspires him to make Lendistry the largest African American lead community lending institution in the country. Sands graduated high school from the prestigious college prep school, St. Paul’s School in Concord, New Hampshire. He then attended the University of Pennsylvania where he received a BA in Japanese Economics. This educational foundation equipped Sands with the knowledge necessary to lead a traditional lending institution, but Sands says it is his personal and family experiences that drive him to make Lendistry the largest and Black-lead lending institution in the country.

Lendistry, is the perfect formula combining the speed and convenience of technology, the knowledge and guidance of responsible lending professionals, and the investment capital of social impactors and national banks. Our mission is to provide economic opportunities and progressive growth for small business owners, and their underserved communities, as a source of financing and financial education.
