CDFIs are filling in gaps in the capital markets that make financing more widely accessible and contribute to greater economic prosperity for all.
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 are filling in gaps in the capital markets that make financing more widely accessible and contribute to greater economic prosperity for all.
These funds were used to construct our high school building, which has served thousands of students and families in our community.
CDFIs are extremely effective at providing access to capital and services to communities in rural and metropolitan areas, raising and leveraging private funding, to create effective solutions to meet the most challenging needs.
CDFIs provide affordable capital to borrowers that may not be able to access credit from mainstream financial institutions. Unlike other non-bank options, CDFI loans are affordable and transparent. And CDFIs take a holistic approach, prioritizing the wellbeing of individual clients and the borrowers that live within them.
