CDFIs have assisted lower income people as they begin to work towards achieving the American Dream
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 have assisted lower income people as they begin to work towards achieving the American Dream
This is greater than just the CDFI Fund. There are countless of small businesses that cannot get financial support in a traditional lending institution.
We support CDFI lending.
CDFIs are the oil in the engine of our economy. They support small businesses with patient flexible capital, when they need it the most; when they are starting out. Without support for these institutions, small businesses will be blocked by high fees, high interest rates, demand payments, and other predatory behavior that impedes and tanks their efforts to grow the US economy.
