the Department of the Treasury, and was estab-
lished by the Riegle Community Development and 
Regulatory Improvement Act of 1994. The mission 
of the CDFI Fund is ‘‘to expand economic oppor-
tunity for underserved people and communities by 
supporting the growth and capacity of a national 
network of community development lenders, inves-
tors, and financial service providers’’. A community 
development financial institution (a ‘‘CDFI’’) is a 
specialized financial institution serving low-income 
communities and a Community Development Entity 
(a ‘‘CDE’’) is a domestic corporation or partnership 
that is an intermediary vehicle for the provision of 
loans, investments, or financial counseling in low-in-
come communities. The CDFI Fund certifies CDFIs 
and CDEs. Becoming a certified CDFI or CDE al-
lows organizations to participate in various CDFI 
Fund programs as follows: 
(A) The Bank Enterprise Award Program, 
which provides FDIC-insured depository institu-
tions awards for a demonstrated increase in 
lending and investments in distressed commu-

Program, which provides CDFIs and spon-
soring entities Financial and Technical Assist-
ance awards to increase lending and grow the 
number of CDFIs owned by Native Americans 
to help build capacity of such CDFIs. 
(D) The New Market Tax Credit Program, 
which provides tax credits for making equity in-

vides awards to CDFIs and nonprofit affordable 
housing organizations to finance affordable

ment activities. 
(F) The Bond Guarantee Program, a 
source of long-term, patient capital for CDFIs

tablish accounts at federally insured banks, and to 
improve low-to-moderate income individuals’ access 
to such accounts on reasonable terms. 
(3) Under this authority, grants to participants 
in CDFI Fund programs may be used for loan-loss 
reserves and to establish small-dollar loan programs 
by subsidizing related losses. These grants also allow 
for the providing recipients with the financial coun-
seling and education necessary to conduct trans-
actions and manage their accounts. These loans pro-
vide low-cost alternatives to payday loans and other 
nontraditional forms of financing that often impose 
excessive interest rates and fees on borrowers, and 
lead millions of Americans to fall into debt traps. 
Small-dollar loans can only be made pursuant to 
terms, conditions, and practices that are reasonable 
for the individual consumer obtaining the loan. 
(4) Program participation is restricted to eligi-
ble institutions, which are limited to organizations 
listed in section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue 
Code and exempt from tax under 501(a) of such 
Code, federally insured depository institutions, com-
munity development financial institutions and State, 
local, or Tribal government entities.
