CDFIs are not just banks. They are lifelines. Without them, thousands of small businesses-many in overlooked neighborhoods (urban and rural) – would never get access to capital, training, and the support they need to survive, let alone thrive.
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 I’ve witnessed the economic development they bring to an underserved community and the people that inhabit these areas.
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.
Our organization works in tandem with CDFI partners and members for the betterment of communities, business arena and society.
