community finance - non profit news | nonprofit quarterly
what is “community finance”? historically, credit unions, member-controlled nonprofit banks, have been most prominent. nonetheless, in the u.s., community finance today often refers specifically to community development financial institutions (cdfis)—credit unions and other mission-driven financial institutions that invest primary in low-income neighborhoods. cdfis emerged as a civil rights movement response to redlining—the systematic denial of credit to black and brown communities. in the 1970s, community activists got congress to pass the community reinvestment act (cra), which compelled banks to invest in previously redlined neighborhoods. however, it quickly became clear that community-owned institutions were needed for those investments to happen. in 1994, congress established the cdfi act, which helped support community-based financial institutions. since then, a network of over 1,000 cdfis has developed. explore this section to learn more about the growing range of democratic means to provide community finance.

bringing opportunity to communities through partnerships with community development and community finance
no single business or sector can create lasting change on its own. this chapter tells the story of community development and how it brings public, private, and nonprofit resources together to fight poverty and advance health. numerous agencies and approaches that create opportunities and improve quality of life are explored, finding common ground and financial alignments that benefit everyone. access to capital is the lifeblood of the u.s. economy, and financial resources are essential to the health of communities and the livelihood of families. this chapter gives special attention to community development financial institutions (cdfis)—which are well positioned to address the lack of available capital, credit, and financing expertise in many communities—and describes “win-win” ventures, such as business investments in affordable housing and creatively financed projects that improve the health of employees and communities.
