CDFIs are vital to the stability of this 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 vital to the stability of this community!
This is greater than just the CDFI Fund. There are countless of small businesses that cannot get financial support in a traditional lending institution.
Thanks to the Bank Enterprise Award Fund, United is able to issue responsible credit and financial services to underserved customers… BEA is critical for offsetting the cost of running a small‑dollar loan program.
CDFIs support the needs of small businesses and consumers in rural, suburban, and urban areas across the United States. The designation is key to legitimizing and elevating our work with banks and other leveraged investors who align with our industry to bring affordable capital to markets that need catalytic investments to sustain and grow small businesses. These businesses create jobs, provide goods and services, and pay taxes that build strong communities. We need to preserve and grow the CDFI Fund for all Americans.
