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’m a contract CFO for multiple smaller CDFIs around the US who are supporting those in our communities that are starting small businesses, trying to get financing to buy a vehicle to get to a job or earn a living in the gig economy, and small developers bringing affordable housing onto the market. No one else is making this financing available. I work to see thriving communities here in the US that make our local economies vibrant and healthy. The CDFI Fund makes that possible.
CDFIs work results in invaluable benefits to communities, including jobs, housing, tax revenue, and vitality.
CDFIs make otherwise impossible projects possible.
Thanks to the Bank Enterprise Award Fund, United is able to issue responsible credit and financial services to underserved customers… BEA is critical for offsetting the cost of running a small‑dollar loan program.
