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 cannot abandon Community Development Financial Institutions (CDFIs), who do measurable, positive work in our communities.
CDFIs benefit communities like Syracuse, which have experienced economic decline due to the withdrawal of large employers (like Carrier, GE, etc.) but are also seeing revitalization.
CDFIs are a lifeline for many small business owners who cannot get traditional financing from large banks.
