CDFI Fund to Hold Informational Conference Calls on CDFI Certification 

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. 

CDFI Certification Overview 
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.
