Community based CDFIs are vital sources of private capital to areas most in need of investment and jobs.
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.
CDFIs have been critical to successfully completing community and economic development projects in distressed and under-resourced communities like Youngstown and Warren, Ohio.
CDFIs help community-focused organizations access capital for traditionally underserved communities.
We strongly support continued investment in CDFIs because they empower local economies, create pathways to homeownership and entrepreneurship, and help communities thrive. By ensuring the sustainability and growth of CDFIs, we can continue our mission to help members bank with dignity and build a stronger financial future for all.
