CDFIs help community-focused organizations access capital for traditionally underserved communities.
Native CDFIs are crucial to provide the financing, investment and literacy services to improve economic and social conditions in Native communities where inadequate or non-existent mainstream financial services are commonplace. We are seeing the positive impacts of Native CDFIs across Alaska and Indian country through increased homeownership, profitable Native-owned small businesses and community improvement projects. Supporting Native CDFIs will build stronger, more resilient communities and better the economy for the nation.
CDFIs are essential for the economic vitality of rural communities like the ones we serve in Western North Carolina. The CDFI Fund represents an extremely effective and high-return investment.
