It is critically important that the United States Department of the Treasury continues to support the work of CDFIS throughout our great nation.
CDFIs have been essential vehicles for moving investment capital into communities that otherwise cannot access capital. We provide important technical assistance and financial support to grow businesses, finance projects, and revitalize communities thanks to investments from the CDFI Fund, which we then leverage with other private capital.
CDFIs bridge an important gap in capital between fully bankable and not yet bankable deals reaching out to Socially and Economically Disadvantaged Individual business owners to grow our economy.
