Community Development Financial Institutions Fund

The Community Development Financial Institutions Fund (CDFI Fund), part of the U.S. Department of the Treasury, plays a crucial role in fostering economic growth and opportunity in the nation's most distressed communities. By providing tailored resources and innovative programs, the CDFI Fund supports mission-driven financial institutions that adopt a market-based approach to serve economically disadvantaged communities. These institutions are encouraged to apply for CDFI Certification and participate in various programs offered by the CDFI Fund, which aim to inject new sources of capital into neighborhoods lacking access to financing.
