The work of CDFIs and the CDFI Fund is critical for so many small businesses, real estate developers, nonprofits, and communities across the United States.
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.
The work of CDFIs and the CDFI Fund is critical for so many small businesses, real estate developers, nonprofits, and communities across the United States.
The CDFI FA/TA funding is critical to making projects happen and creating opportunities for employment. The NMTC program is critical to important real estate projects in areas like Opportunity Zones and other under invested areas.
CDFIs provide financial services, education and loans to support economic growth and development for families and small businesses. Many qualify, but are unable to secure needed funding through mainstream, traditional financial sources. The work of CDFIs enriches our communities and the quality of life for residents.
The CDFI Fund, and the organizations it serves, enable greater numbers of people to participate in the US economy in a positive way, creating jobs and businesses, while producing vital goods and services.
