CDFIs provide opportunity for those who would otherwise not have access.
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 provide opportunity for those who would otherwise not have access.
CDFIs are filling in gaps in the capital markets that make financing more widely accessible and contribute to greater economic prosperity for all.
Our local CDFI has been essential to supporting our organization, our members and so many people in our community who have struggled to access capital and financial services. They understand how to work with our communities and have assisted so many first time home-buyers and new businesses in getting on track and being financially stable. For many of our members this is where they’ve opened their first bank account and learned how to manage their finances.
CDFIs exist to help grow local economies, provide housing, and support small businesses.
