Funding Eligibility   The CDFI Fund was established to promote access to capital and local economic growth by directly investing in and supporting community development financial institutions (CDFIs) and expanding financial service organizations' lending, investment, and services within underserved markets in the United States. The CDFI Fund does not lend or grant money to individuals. The Fund has three programs which provide monetary assistance - the Bank Enterprise Awards (BEA) Program, the Financial Assistance (FA) Component of the CDFI Program, and the Technical Assistance (TA) Component of the CDFI Program. The Fund's New Markets Tax Credit (NMTC) Program allocates tax credits to eligible for-profit entities.
