Invaluable support to people in our neighborhoods who want to build financial security–also to actually finance rehabbing vacant buildings and building new houses on vacant lots in our low/moderate income area.
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 they provide needed capital for small businesses and first-time homebuyers. This capital allows people to build wealth and/or provide a product/service to their community, which leads to economic prosperity for the local area. Because the financing is provided as a loan, clients are equally invested in the success of their home/business.
Bridge and other CDFIs support business creation and expansion as well as the construction and redevelopment of housing in low to moderate income neighborhoods. These are activities not offered or delivered by other financial institutions to extent provided by CDFI’s.
CDFIs make our urban and rural economies healthy working alongside financial institutions and providing that responsible capital!
