WORK WITH US
Many communities need CDFIs that provide financing for small businesses, affordable housing, and vital community facilities such as child care and the arts.
But thousands of communities that need CDFIs have none or not enough.
CDFI Friendly America connects your community to CDFIs. We work with your community through research, data assessment, and direct engagement with and learning from community leaders to prioritize your financing needs. Then, we help you build relationships and bring in the financing that meets those needs.
With CDFI Friendly America, you are connected to the network of 1,500 CDFIs managing hundreds of billions of dollars. Are you ready to make your community CDFI Friendly?
Each CDFI Friendly community centers community voices like yours. We listen and learn about the financing needs in the underserved and under-estimated communities in your region so we can organize the CDFI market to work for you.
