We are thrilled to announce that the SOAR Community Network has been listed as a resource on CDFI Connect, the go-to platform for Community Development Financial Institutions (CDFIs) and their partners. CDFI Connect is an online community created by the Opportunity Finance Network (OFN), an organization dedicated to advancing access to capital for underserved communities, particularly those affected by economic and social inequities.
What is OFN?
OFN is a national network of CDFIs, which are specialized financial institutions focused on delivering financial services to individuals, businesses, and communities often left out of mainstream finance. Whether it’s affordable housing, small business loans, or community facilities, CDFIs are on the front lines, working to ensure that capital flows where it’s needed most. OFN helps these institutions by providing advocacy, capital, and thought leadership to advance their missions.
