The CDFI Fund has made it possible for our credit union to put funding in the hands of Iowans of modest means who absolutely need it most.
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.

To build communities by providing financial support to under-served entrepreneurs who have been denied financial assistance by other financial institutions.
I have watched how CDFIs support small business owners and home owners where banks and credit unions could not. The amount banks charge is often above what people can pay, CDFIs that are nonprofits even the playing field for them by investing in the people and not company profits.
Our CDFI certification and money received has allowed us the opportunity to be of service to the most underserved and marginalized in our community.
