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 fill a vital role in economic growth of communities and prosperity for all Americans. The rigor and discipline that CDFIs employ proves that you can promote opportunity for all while making wise financing and lending decisions. CDFIs operate in the Abundance mentality and are focused on creating win-win scenarios.
CDFIs were a critical component to our funding stacking. Allowing us to triple our occupancy and better meet our vision of a world where every family has what they need to ensure the best health outcomes for their children.
CDFIs are an important part of our finance ecosystem. In 2024 alone, the Western Reserve Community Fund (WRCF) distributed over $5M in funding to over 100 small businesses/non-profits in Summit County. CDFI’s, like WRCF, make such a difference in our community.
Community based CDFIs are vital sources of private capital to areas most in need of investment and jobs.
