What We Do

We connect you to the capital you need

Borrowers

It starts with an idea. Looking to start a business or purchase your first home? Does your church or nonprofit want to redevelop a space in your community? We provide guidance and connections to help turn visions into reality.

Need Financing?

Lenders

Traditional financial institutions often struggle to provide the flexible, creative financing that communities need. We help their clients find the financing they need through CDFIs while building a strong financial ecosystem.

Referral Network

CDFIs

We provide CDFIs with the insights, partnerships, and opportunities needed to expand their reach and impact. Working with us, you gain access to a growing network of community-driven projects in need of financing.

Partnership Inquiries

CDFI Friendly works to increase the flow of capital in our region in support of affordable housing, small business and nonprofits benefiting the community’s residents.
