CDFIs are nonprofit lenders that play a critical role in the economy by bringing investment and resources to communities that have historically been undeserved by traditional finance.
CDFIs are nonprofit lenders that play a critical role in the economy by bringing investment and resources to communities that have historically been underserved by traditional finance.
At CNote we are committed to partnering with and investing in small and medium sized mission-driven lenders with particular focus on those led by People of Color. Expanding access to capital for Black banks and other financial institutions targeting underserved neighborhoods, particularly during a crisis, can help spur home and business lending to Black families and bring much-needed economic development to groups excluded from the financial mainstream.
The list below can be filtered by keyword, state, and other criteria. When possible, we’ve tried to share website information so those interested can get in touch with leadership at these institutions themselves.
The goal of this initiative is to drive greater funding to Black-led institutions and address the persistent funding gap many of these Black-led organizations have and currently face, if not through CNote’s platform than through greater visibility and accessibility to those interested in investing.
