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.
I support CDFIs because they provide essential financial services to underserved communities, helping individuals and businesses access capital that traditional banks often overlook.
Our CDFI certification and money received has allowed us the opportunity to be of service to the most underserved and marginalized in our community.
As a certified CDFI and SBA lender, our organization directly serves the communities and businesses this administration is working to support. We provide capital to small manufacturers, job-creating entrepreneurs, and individuals acquiring businesses from retiring owners-the so-called “silver tsunami.” Our work helps keep vital businesses operating and people employed. CDFIs are a proven and effective mechanism for delivering capital where it is needed most. With continued federal support, we stand ready to expand our impact and remain on the front lines of economic development in underserved communities across the country.
CDFI are critical in our outline areas. The focus areas and collaborative efforts with tribal members continue to be a success.
