Community Development Financial Institutions (CDFIs) are essential to supporting businesses that serve as the backbone and cultural foundation of their communities.
It is critically important that the United States Department of the Treasury continues to support the work of CDFIS throughout our great nation.
CDFIs make banking accessible for entrepreneurs and small businesses that often lack the institutional knowledge and networks to feel confident in the lending space. CDFIs are a critical tool that helps diversify our economy.
CDFIs provided necessary funding and support to communities, including small businesses. Economic opportunity is the path to a unified society.
