Community based CDFIs are vital sources of private capital to areas most in need of investment and jobs.
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.
Community based CDFIs are vital sources of private capital to areas most in need of investment and jobs.
As a CDFI, we are able to provide loans and investments to borrowers for projects that improve the quality of life in our community’s low to moderate income census tracts. Frequently, these transactions are not supported by financial institutions directly under competitive terms and conditions that we as a CDFI can make.
Our CDFI improves the quality of the communities we serve by creating quality jobs through the small business that we support.
I have chaired our local board and our foundation is extremely supportive of the difference [CDFI Fund awards] have made in the Dayton community!
