CDFIs are very good stewards of federal dollars, both in terms of leveraging other resources and by making loans and investments with great repayment history.
Thank you to our partners at Inclusive and CDBA for sharing data on CDFI Bank and CDFI Credit Union branch locations. In addition, about 100 of our CDFI Stories come from OFN’s story database.
CDFIs are very good stewards of federal dollars, both in terms of leveraging other resources and by making loans and investments with great repayment history.
As a CDFI Lender, we are able to help small businesses, and underserved areas survive. Without this help, many of these businesses would not be able to continue to exist.
Our CDFI improves the quality of the communities we serve by creating quality jobs through the small business that we support.
CDFIs can provide financial tools tailored to the needs of their communities. As a non-profit CDFI serving low-income rural communities, this is very valuable.
