OH07 Fact Sheet

I have chaired our local board and our foundation is extremely supportive of the difference [CDFI Fund awards] have made in the Dayton community!

-Michael M Parks, The Dayton Foundation, Dayton, OH

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.

-Shammas Malik, City of Akron, Akron, OH

Community based CDFIs are vital sources of private capital to areas most in need of investment and jobs.
