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 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 have been critical to successfully completing community and economic development projects in distressed and under-resourced communities like Youngstown and Warren, Ohio.
Our CDFI improves the quality of the communities we serve by creating quality jobs through the small business that we support.
CDFIs help community-focused organizations access capital for traditionally underserved communities.
