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.

We have a critical community project that we are planning to build this year using CDFI funds. It will create new jobs and help small business owners.
We ask for your support because CDFIs are a reliable and thoroughly vetted resource to urban, suburban, and rural communities across the country, ensuring businesses and homebuyers have access to capital that helps alleviate generational poverty.
CDFIs drive economic mobility in a way that positively transforms communities in many ways. It’s relevant for folks with a business/economy-first mentality to know: CDFIs create small businesses, develop financially stable households, and increase low-come families’ spending power. These are metrics that are meaningful to people of all political views. Investing in the CDFI Fund pays dividends to the broader economy. This is not a politically divisive line item in the budget. Fund the CDFI Fund!
