Community Development Financial Institutions (CDFIs) play a critical role in supporting economically disadvantaged communities. CDFIs can lend to underserved markets and asset classes and often go beyond traditional financial institutions’ work, providing coaching and technical assistance, among other services.

- The four types of CDFIs and their unique roles
