When the CDFI Coalition canceled our conference and annual meeting in March of 2020, we focused on delivering our panels and programs through our CDFI Friday Virtual Conference Series in the fall. 

But we never convened an annual meeting of our membership. 

So please plan to join us on Friday, June 11 - for a recap as well as a look toward the future! RSVP here.

Capital Quest: Connecting Capital to Communities

Introducing the New York Fed Community Development Team’s New Strategic Direction

June 3, 2021
1:00 PM - 2:30 PM ET

RSVP / More Info

Please join the Federal Reserve Bank of New York and the U.S. Impact Investing Alliance for “Capital Quest: Connecting Capital to Communities,” a virtual event focused on the expanding pool of impact investing funders, how new sources of investment can strengthen the low- and moderate-income communities hardest hit by the pandemic, and the New York Fed’s plans to connect communities with funds.

The event will open with remarks by David Erickson, head of Outreach and Education at the New York Fed, who will detail his team’s new strategic approach to bridging communities and capital. He will also discuss the team’s new focus areas within the diverse world of community development.

The event will include a discussion between Fran Seegull, president of the U.S. Impact Investing Alliance, and Otho Kerr, the New York Fed’s director of strategic partnerships and community impact investing, a newly created role unique within the Federal Reserve System. It will also include a panel of impact investors discussing the early successes they’ve seen.

In conjunction with the event, the New York Fed and the U.S. Impact Investing Alliance will release a new report written by the Alliance, Impact in Place: Emerging Sources of Community Investment Capital and Strategies to Direct it at Scale.
