CDFIs

CDFIs, or Community Development Financial Institutions, are specialized lenders dedicated to providing financial services and funding to underserved communities. They focus on supporting small businesses, affordable housing, education, and community facilities that might struggle to get financing through traditional banks. By investing locally, CDFIs help create jobs, promote economic growth, and improve quality of life in areas that need it most. Their goal is to foster equitable development and ensure that everyone has access to the financial resources needed for community well-being.
