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 most proximate to communities needs and provide responsible, flexible capital solutions that support new business starts, job creation / retention, financial acumen building and skills development, and delivery of critical goods and services to opportunity rich communities.
CDFI funding helps us support homeowners, contractors and others in the housing market. It fills gaps in markets such as ours that other funding simply cannot.
CDFIs have assisted lower income people as they begin to work towards achieving the American Dream
CDFIs are a lifeline for many small business owners who cannot get traditional financing from large banks.
