Work With Us: Communities
To achieve inclusive economic growth and opportunities.
CDFIs provide patient, customized financing to people, businesses, and organizations that have been historically limited in or excluded from access to financing. CDFIs lend to benefit the community’s needs by giving under-financed people and places access to capital that fits them.
Each CDFI Friendly community is created and guided by community voices like yours. We spend months listening and learning as much as we can about the financing needs in your community.
Every place is different. A CDFI Friendly strategy can be initiated and funded by any combination of banks, foundations, local or state government, or community organizations.
Tell us about your community.
Every community includes people and businesses that need CDFI financing for small businesses, affordable housing, and vital community facilities, such as child care and the arts. If you are a community leader, work for a foundation, or run a nonprofit that is interested in attracting more CDFIs to lend in your community, please fill out this form to give us a little information. We will contact you with more information and the opportunity to sign up for a virtual CDFI Friendly information session.
