Meet CDFI Fund Director Jodie Harris
9th Annual CDFI Credit Union Update at GAC
February 24, 2020 | 11:30 am to 1:00 pm
Washington Convention Center | Room 204 A/B/C
CDFI-certified credit unions represent a growing segment of the industry. These 320 credit unions have more than $114 billion in combined assets and serve more than 10 million members. CDFI credit unions are at the forefront of the industry, helping to build more inclusive, resilient and equitable communities.
Did you know that many more credit unions are eligible for CDFI certification?
Since its first funding round in 1996, the CDFI Fund has provided billions of dollars to community development financial institutions. Credit unions have received $370 million in technical and financial assistance grants, and as a result, the CDFI Fund has become the single most important source of external resources for credit unions serving financially underserved populations and low-income communities.
Inclusiv is the credit union industry's voice and advocate for community development and financial inclusion. We were instrumental in the establishment of the CDFI Fund and work closely with it to ensure that credit unions can effectively compete for these resources.
Join Inclusiv and CDFI Fund Director Jodie Harris next month to learn more about the benefits and growth opportunities presented by community development finance and the impact that CDFI credit unions have on the communities they serve.
