The work that CDFIs do helps us all realize the American Dream. They stimulate the economy, locally and nationally, and give credence to the idea of picking oneself up by one’s bootstraps to make a better tomorrow for their community.
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 are a key component of helping our communities thrive.
CDFIs fill an important financing gap to help meet the needs of Americans including housing development, community improvements, nonprofit and health infrastructure, and small business. The CDFI Fund is a critical investment in America’s future.
The CDFI funds are critical to supporting entrepreneurs start up new small businesses which are the backbone of our economy. Without this funding, new jobs cannot be created and local tax bases will not grow. Please support small businesses!
