Community Development Financial Institutions (CDFIs) are essential to supporting businesses that serve as the backbone and cultural foundation of their communities.
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 Development Financial Institutions (CDFIs) are essential to supporting businesses that serve as the backbone and cultural foundation of their communities.
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 are a key component of helping our communities thrive.
The financial education offered by Native CDFIs has been making huge impacts within the community. I have been involved in the CDFI network for 8 years and am seeing the positive results. This is especially critical for the younger generations.
