CAMEO’s CDFI Incubator Director Emily Gasner will be presenting a session on the ABC’s of Becoming a Certified CDFI on Friday, September 9th at the 2022 National NALCAB Conference in Washington, D.C..
If your organization supports small business, mortgage or consumer lending, becoming a certified Community Development Financial Institution (CDFI) can bring many benefits, including access to US Treasury funds and technical assistance, and elevating your status with stakeholders and funders to attract additional investment. Over the past ten years, NALCAB has assisted dozens of network lenders in applying for and receiving CDFI certification. If you’re a lender who has wondered what it takes to become a certified CDFI, join this session to learn tangible steps to take, common challenges and best practices in navigating this process.
