Community based CDFIs are vital sources of private capital to areas most in need of investment and jobs.
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.
Community based CDFIs are vital sources of private capital to areas most in need of investment and jobs.
The CDFI Fund, and the organizations it serves, enable greater numbers of people to participate in the US economy in a positive way, creating jobs and businesses, while producing vital goods and services.
The impact CDFI organizations make through their lending programs helps communities by providing financing that helps create or expand a small business, create or sustain jobs, and offers communities an expanded tax base.
I have consistently heard positive news and success stories about CDFIs in Idaho and across the country, and their responsiveness to the small business community.
