Community Capital Intelligence
Community Capital Intelligence: See the Capital Flowing Into Communities
Community capital is spread across foundations, CDFIs, banks, federal programs, and community development groups. The people doing the work spend hours stitching it together. Community Capital Intelligence from CIFIS pulls it into one place. You get verified institutions, clear scoring, and a single view of who is moving capital into a region and how.
What community capital intelligence covers
The community capital field includes private and community foundations, CDFIs, MDIs, ECIP recipients, banks with CRA duties, federal community development programs, and the nonprofits they partner with. CIFIS treats them as one connected dataset, not as separate directories. You can see the full capital picture for a region, an issue, or a specific partnership.

- Federal community development programs
- Community development groups and nonprofits
Built for people moving community capital
Community capital teams, economic development groups, healthcare systems, cities, CDFIs, and the nonprofits that work with them all face the same scattered data. CIFIS gives each of them one clear view: where capital is flowing, who is moving it, and how to spot real partnerships. No need to juggle five vendor contracts to get the picture.
Clear scoring with sources you can check
Every institution profile and partnership match in CIFIS shows the reason behind it and the sources it pulled from. Community capital decisions are high-stakes. They shape neighborhoods, jobs, and institutions. The platform is built to make those decisions defensible, not just easy.
From a regional view to a specific partnership
Start with a region, a county, a city, or a state, and drill in to specific institutions and partnerships. Or start with an institution and see its community capital footprint and past partners. The data works both ways, so your research can move from broad to narrow or narrow to broad.
Frequently asked questions
What is community capital?
Community capital is the broad set of money (grants, loans, investments, and deposits) that flows into community development, low- and moderate-income areas, and mission-aligned groups.
Who uses Community Capital Intelligence?
Community capital teams, CDFIs, economic development groups, healthcare systems, cities, and nonprofits working on community outcomes.
How is this different from a foundation directory?
A foundation directory covers one slice. Community Capital Intelligence covers the full field (foundations, CDFIs, banks, federal programs, and community groups) as one connected dataset.
Does this connect to CRA partnerships?
Yes. CRA Intelligence is part of Community Capital Intelligence and surfaces CRA-qualified partnerships across banks, CDFIs, and community partners.
Where does the data come from?
IRS sources, federal regulatory data, federal community development program data, and curated partnership signals. Each record carries a timestamp and a citation.
Can I see how capital is flowing into a specific region?
Yes. Scope intelligence to a state, region, or county and see the institutions and partnerships active there.
