This hybrid organization was set up mainly to address the challenges of poverty in low income rural communities in Nigeria. The institution mobilizes capital from the public and private sectors to invest in projects, businesses and social enterprises with the intention to generate good financial returns and measurable positive social-environmental impact, as well as act as a champion to help increase awareness and confidence on the advantages of impact investing.

Furthermore, NCDF works towards actualizing the 17 United Nations Sustainable Development Goals which include poverty alleviation; improved education; access to clean water, sanitation, clean energy and good infrastructure; gender and economic equality in Nigeria. To ensure the implementation of these goals, NCDF operates projects in the housing, capacity development, agriculture, finance, environmental and hospitality sectors of the Nigerian economy.
