CIFIS for CDFIs
Find capital partners in your footprint.
CDFIs raise from fragmented sources — banks with CRA duties, foundations with PRI activity and federal programs. CIFIS surfaces the specific partners whose footprint, appetite signal and public record line up with your work.

Fit reflects footprint · appetite signal · verified record
Fit reflects footprint, public appetite signal and verified record — not a regulatory determination. CIFIS provides research intelligence and does not determine CRA eligibility or regulatory treatment.
