Last week, the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Community Development Financial Institutions Fund (CDFI Fund) announced that 256 organizations received $76.32 million in Technical Assistance (TA) Awards to build their capacity to provide financial products and services to low-income and underserved people and communities across America.
We are proud to report that, of those $76.32 million, more than $15 million were awarded to CAMEO Network members! In California, 14 members received a CDFI TA Award, while seven members across the country – from Arizona to New York and many places in between – were also among the recipients. In addition, four of the organizations who received an award have been participants in CAMEO Network’s CDFI Essentials course.
Congratulations to these amazing organizations!
