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 were a critical component to our funding stacking. Allowing us to triple our occupancy and better meet our vision of a world where every family has what they need to ensure the best health outcomes for their children.
Supporting Community Development Financial Institutions (CDFIs) is crucial for economic growth and access to capital in underserved areas. CDFIs provide essential financial services, stimulating local economies by offering affordable loans to small businesses and nonprofits. Increased funding for CDFIs ensures expanded outreach and impact, promoting economic stability and development. Enhanced budgetary support for CDFIs is a strategic investment that benefits the nation’s economic infrastructure.
[The CDFI Fund] provides a vital funding source which enables our organization to sustain and start-up businesses in our rural SD communities. Without that support, our rural communities would die because there would be nothing to keep our young families in the communities. The opportunities they need for their careers would be gone.
