NYS CDFI Investor Club Launch!

THIS FRIDAY - April 2 - 12:00 noon
 

The first meeting of the New York State CDFI Investor Club is coming up this Friday, April 2 - and we hope you can join more than 200 people who have already signed up! 

The Investor Club is like a farmers market - each CDFI offers something different for the investors who "visit" - and investors may walk through a few times before "filling their basket."

This event will will feature panel discussions by Foundations that have invested in CDFIs, as well as CDFIs talking about who they are and what they do.

The event will conclude with a "lightning round" of NYS CDFIs who will have 2 minutes each to tell stories of how they're helping the Empire State's most vulnerable businesses and communities build back better from the global pandemic and economic downturn.

These are truly inspirational stories, and we hope you will RSVP today!

 

Learn About the Disabilities Fund FA Award 

Thursday April 8 - 1:00 p.m. 

Join the National Disability Finance Coalition for an update on the CDFI Fund’s programs for People With Disabilities (PWD). Hear from those who have successfully received funds and the variety of programs supported by DF-FA. Bring your questions and ideas.

RSVP Today! 

The Federal Reserve wants to hear from YOU!


The Federal Reserve 2021 CDFI Survey is now open. Join your colleagues in completing the survey to better inform the Fed, the CDFI Fund and other policymakers, researchers and practitioners about the collective work of CDFIs.
 

Take the survey today!

Survey closes at 11:59PM EST on Friday, April 23.


As with past survey data, the Federal Reserve and the CDFI Fund intend to use the survey data to inform research and future policymaking. Data from last year’s survey informed the design of CDFI Fund and Federal Reserve programs, including the CDFI Rapid Response Program, as well as outreach and education efforts.
 
The 60-minute survey is open to all CDFIs, regardless of certification status. Plan to submit a response for your CDFI, and tell another CDFI leader you know. The more voices they hear, the more we can do together!
 
Your time is important, so they have significantly shortened the survey this year. More information about the 2021 CDFI Survey and the Fed’s CDFI survey work is available here.
 
The CDFI Survey is a collaborative effort of the Fed, the CDFI Fund, Opportunity Finance Network, the CDFI Coalition, Inclusiv, the Community Development Bankers Association, the Native CDFI Network, First Nations Oweesta Corporation, NeighborWorks America, the New York State CDFI Coalition and the Asociación de Ejecutivos de Cooperativas de Ahorro y Crédito de Puerto Rico.
 
Your voice matters, and we hope to have your organization represented in the data.
