CDFIs make our work possible.

CDFI Friendly America is working to bring the powerful resource of CDFI financing to cities where the CDFI activity is not meeting all the needs of that community.

Based on our teams’ expertise and experience with CDFIs, we identify and organize the CDFI financing needs in each city. When we say we make markets CDFI “Friendly,” we mean we are making it easier for you to work there without having to staff an office

“CDFI Friendly” means we are there to help.

CDFI Friendly America works to increase each community’s CDFI “literacy” and develops a nonprofit CDFI Friendly organization (i.e., CDFI Friendly Fort Worth) to cultivate and provide you with deal flow. Each CDFI Friendly entity is staffed by local experts trusted in their community who can find and match-make deals with CDFIs that want to expand and diversify their portfolios.
