How We Drive CDFI Impact
Partners is the nation’s first Community Development Financial Institution (CDFI) loan participation network. We are dedicated to collaborative problem solving by structuring deals that let CDFIs share risk, manage concentration limits, and extend their reach. By co-funding larger transactions, we turn a single lender’s balance-sheet capacity into comprehensive capital solutions. Our approach maximizes impact through collective action.
What “Community Development” Means Here
Community development finance focuses on projects that create real benefits for real people. We expand affordable housing, create jobs, and strengthen local services in low-income communities. Certified CDFIs are mission-driven lenders recognized by the U.S. Treasury’s CDFI Fund as institutions that demonstrate a commitment to communities and financial inclusion. We advance this mission by pairing disciplined underwriting with strategic partnerships to help move capital where it provides the greatest benefit.
