CDFIs are an important part of our finance ecosystem. In 2024 alone, the Western Reserve Community Fund (WRCF) distributed over $5M in funding to over 100 small businesses/non-profits in Summit County. CDFI’s, like WRCF, make such a difference in our community.

CDFIs solve for capital access gaps that increase economic opportunities for people and communities who have been excluded from that opportunity.
