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.
Community based CDFIs are vital sources of private capital to areas most in need of investment and jobs.
This is greater than just the CDFI Fund. There are countless of small businesses that cannot get financial support in a traditional lending institution.
CDFIs invest in creative solutions for communities, producing impactful outcomes such as those related to quality jobs, affordable housing, community health, and child wellbeing.
CDFIs help people with the big repairs, supporting jobs, and financing vehicles to get to work and shopping. These are all good for the economy as well for those individual families.
