The U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Community Development Financial Institutions Fund (CDFI Fund) will be conducting a series of conference calls regarding CDFI Certification. These calls will serve as a forum for potential certification applicants to ask questions of CDFI Fund staff about becoming a certified CDFI. The schedule and instructions for accessing the conference calls are outlined below.
As part of the CDFI Program, the CDFI Fund certifies organizations as community development financial institutions - or CDFIs. These organizations provide financing and related services to communities and populations that lack access to credit, capital and financial services. To become certified, an organization must: be a legal entity, have an eligible primary mission, be a financing entity, serve an eligible Target Market, be accountable to the Target Market, provide corresponding Development Services, and not be controlled by a government entity. Among other benefits, CDFI certification allows applicants to apply for Financial Assistance through the CDFI Program.
To access any of the conference calls, participants need to call (202) 927-2255 and enter in the pin number 315646. No prior registration is necessary. Please note that the phone number and pin number are the same for all of the conference calls.
