#CDFIs are widely recognized—across the aisle and by this Administration—as engines of economic opportunity. Our CDFI affiliate #VCDF helps expand access to capital, supports job growth and wealth creation, and uplifts communities that mainstream banks often overlook in VA and WV. The CDFI Fund has provided billions in critical resources to achieve these goals. However, under President Trump’s March 14 Executive Order on “Reducing the Federal Bureaucracy,” the future of this vital funding is now at risk. As the Treasury Department prepares its response for OMB and continues engaging with CDFIs and other stakeholders, we must ensure our voices are heard. 📢 Take Action: • Contact your Members of Congress – Encourage them to protect CDFIs. • Spread the word – Share this post to raise awareness about what’s at stake. • Tag your elected officials in the comments and urge their support. CDFIs don’t just invest in businesses—they invest in people. Let’s keep them strong so they can continue driving opportunity and prosperity in our communities. https://www.ofn.org/ofn-policy-action-center/#/9 Learn about VCDF's impact on communities in VA and WV here: https://vibrantcommunities.us/vcdf #ProtectTheCDFIFund #CDFIsInvest #CommunitiesFirst (fb)
