Community Development Financial Institutions (CDFIs) play a vital role in expanding access to capital, credit, and financial services across Greater Kansas City. Yet for many stakeholders, including financial institutions and foundations, the CDFI landscape can be difficult to navigate. That is because CDFIs have different structures, lending strategies, and ways of measuring impact. This event will equip you with clear, working knowledge of how Kansas City CDFIs are structured, the sectors they serve, and how they measure success, so you can make more informed decisions about partnerships, investments, and other community initiatives.
Join us for a community conversation on Understanding CDFIs in Kansas City, an in-depth look at the local CDFI ecosystem featuring insights from CDFI leaders. Through two panel discussions, attendees will gain practical insight into both the mechanics and the outcomes of CDFI work in Kansas City.
Whether you are new to the CDFI space or looking to deepen an existing relationship, this event offers an opportunity to ask questions, hear directly from CDFI leaders, and connect with peers who share an interest in strengthening community investment across the region.
Who should attend?
- Lenders interested in exploring business opportunities and partnerships with CDFIs
- CRA and Compliance Officers seeking insights on local CDFIs to strengthen internal discussions and strategy
- Philanthropic Organizations looking for opportunities to support mission-driven organizations
