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.
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 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.
CDFIs stand in the gap for communities that have long been overlooked, offering the tools, capital, and support that empower people to lift themselves up by their bootstraps. From revitalizing main streets to helping families buy their first homes, CDFIs turn potential into progress. With timely and full support from the Treasury Department, these institutions can continue delivering measurable impact, fueling self-reliance, entrepreneurship, and generational change in America’s most underinvested communities
CDFIs do vital work to support individuals and small businesses in our communities. Please make sure this funding continues!
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.
