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.
Our local CDFI has been essential to supporting our organization, our members and so many people in our community who have struggled to access capital and financial services. They understand how to work with our communities and have assisted so many first time home-buyers and new businesses in getting on track and being financially stable. For many of our members this is where they’ve opened their first bank account and learned how to manage their finances.
As an emerging CDFI offering funding and technical assistance to uplift underserved communities and our economy the CDFI appropriation is imperative.
The work of CDFIs is critical to supporting credit in underserved communities.
Our CDFI improves the quality of the communities we serve by creating quality jobs through the small business that we support.
