CDFIs help reduce poverty in our community.
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.
CDFIs help reduce poverty in our community.
CDFIs are an important part of our finance ecosystem. In 2024 alone, the Western Reserve Community Fund (WRCF) distributed over $5M in funding to over 100 small businesses/non-profits in Summit County. CDFI’s, like WRCF, make such a difference in our community.
True core CDFIs are the leaders and support mechanisms in rural communities. They are the local trusted partners that positively impact individuals, companies and communities to build equity and hope into areas that are difficult to develop.
As an emerging CDFI offering funding and technical assistance to uplift underserved communities and our economy the CDFI appropriation is imperative.
