Building equitable economic prosperity in Minnesota
The statewide coalition of Community Development Financial Institutions (CDFIs) working together to increase resources and access to capital for small businesses, affordable housing, individuals, and community organizations across the state.
MN CDFIs
More than 40 certified CDFIs and other mission-driven lenders operate in Minnesota, providing capital and support for small businesses, housing development, home ownership, childcare, cooperatives, nonprofit organizations, and consumers. MN CDFIs are located in cities, rural communities, and Tribal communities. CDFIs make loans that other lenders consider too risky, investing in the assets and possibilities of people in their communities.
Upcoming Events
Every CDFI relies on a variety of tech systems to manage loan funds, programs, and the organization. Join your peers to share experiences, ideas, lessons learned, and recommendations about loan fund software, databases, accounting, and other tools.
