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 CDFI certification and money received has allowed us the opportunity to be of service to the most underserved and marginalized in our community.
We are a Native CDFI serving the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians in western NC. Our work here is critical to supporting new business creation, small business growth, job creation and retention, and housing security for tribal members who have historically endured economic hardship and lack of adequate banking and capital resources. Not to be lumped in with the myriad ways government-funded projects and organizations waste tax dollars, our industry has proven itself a superior investment for the U.S. taxpayers and is one our elected officials should be proud to support.
Since 2011 the RGVMB CDFI has assisted over 140,000 borrowers across the Nation with access to needed capital. This work can only be done with help from the CDFI Fund.
As a CDFI Lender, we are able to help small businesses, and underserved areas survive. Without this help, many of these businesses would not be able to continue to exist.
