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.
I support CDFIs because they provide essential financial services to underserved communities, helping individuals and businesses access capital that traditional banks often overlook.
We believe people are more than just a credit score. We believe Lending helps the Community and we do the lending that others will not.
CDFIs support the needs of small businesses and consumers in rural, suburban, and urban areas across the United States. The designation is key to legitimizing and elevating our work with banks and other leveraged investors who align with our industry to bring affordable capital to markets that need catalytic investments to sustain and grow small businesses. These businesses create jobs, provide goods and services, and pay taxes that build strong communities. We need to preserve and grow the CDFI Fund for all Americans.
CDFIs are vital to the stability of this community!
