The 2010 Opportunity Finance Network Conference will be held November 3-5, 2010 in San Francisco and the curriculum is now being finalized. More than forty CDFI practitioners and funders attended the Conference Kick-off event hosted by the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco and sixteen OFN Member CDFIs have signed on as Co-Hosts to advise on the curriculum and tours.

Conference Sponsors are committing their support, including sponsoring individual conference tracks (such as affordable housing and green finance). To become a Conference Sponsor, contact Gregory Schiefelbein at gschiefelbein@opportunityfinance.net.

Opportunity Finance Network would like to thank the Citi Foundation for their generous support of OFN's CDFI Stabilization and Growth Initiative. The Foundation's funding enables OFN to provide consulting, peer-sharing, and training to CDFIs and the CDFI industry, especially around risk management. As part of the Initiative, the Citi Foundation is a Gold Sponsor of the 2010 Opportunity Finance Network Conference, and supports OFN's Regional Meetings and monthly Staying Connected Calls. In addition, the Citi Foundation support underwrites OFN's 2010 strategic planning process.

OFN would like to thank the following donors for their generous support:

• Bank of America for its sponsorship of the 2009 and 2010 Opportunity Finance Network Conferences.
• The Citi Foundation for its support of the CDFI Stabilization and Growth Initiative.
• The JPMorgan Chase Foundation for its support of CARS™.
• The Ford Foundation for its support of OFN’s Quarterly CDFI Market Conditions Report.
