CDFI Fund - U.S. Treasury - Help Us Tell Your Story!

Community Development Financial Institutions Fund

Help Us Tell Your Story!

The CDFI Fund often needs real-life stories of how the organizations it has awarded in the past are making a difference in the communities they serve. To gather these examples, the CDFI Fund has created the following form to capture the stories behind the numbers. These examples may be featured in the CDFI Fund’s newsletters, annual reports, website or speeches its Director may make. The submitted profiles may be used to determine where the CDFI Fund will hold its next event, either for its Director or for other Treasury Department or Federal Officials. Or they may be used as a tool to identify projects when reporters call and want to write a story.

So, we encourage you to spend some time telling us how your innovative approaches and best practices are revitalizing the communities you serve.

If you are a member of the general public who is looking for a loan, perhaps to refinance your home or to start your own business, please click here.
