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.
As a CDFI, we support areas that have had historical underinvestment and see a transformative impact to those communities over time. The CDFI fund has an excellent private investment track record that accompanies the Treasury investment, leveraging the funds at an $8 or more for every $1 from the CDFI fund. This helps incentivize investment in these communities, bringing greater prosperity to all and putting all Americans to work that can access these programs.
CDFIs make otherwise impossible projects possible.
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 want ALL entrepreneurs to have access to capitol to support their businesses. Especially those that may be deemed unbankable.
