For Capital Mortgage Funding, supporting LGBTQ+ employees and promoting equality and inclusion in the mortgage community means being active and having a strong presence throughout the year, not just during Pride Week.

For borrowers, it means having equal access to opportunities and resources where they might otherwise be excluded and marginalized, says Lynnette Ricketts, Capital’s internal marketing director.

For employees, it means they are supported no matter their gender, ethnicity, age, sexual orientation, religion or other attributes. Employees at Capital Mortgage Funding are encouraged to bring their whole selves into the workplace, have their voices heard, and have their creativity and innovation unleashed, Ricketts says.

Capital Mortgage Funding, a retail lender licensed in 12 states, offers an inclusive environment where teammates can strive to be the best version of themselves, she says. Many opportunities are offered for employees to contribute to the diversity and inclusion conversation. Numerous employee resource groups serve as safe platforms where employees can come together for support, encouragement, inspiration and growth.

One of Capital’s top originators, Becky Alley, is of the LGBTQ+ community herself.

“We feel that her presence within our office and community is key to show that success has no bounds or limitations,” Ricketts says. “Sharing her story and being a strong voice of future generations to pave the path of success has been a mission of not only Becky but Capital Mortgage Funding.”
