Overview

Opportunity Finance Network (OFN) is the premier national network of community development financial institutions (CDFIs), offering industry-leading advocacy as well as, financing, capacity building, consulting, research, and marketing support for CDFIs and their partners. OFN and its Members invest in opportunities that benefit low-income, low-wealth, and other disadvantaged communities across America. 

OFN offers two ways to join the nation’s most respected national CDFI network. 

• OFN Members are performance-oriented CDFIs financing community businesses and consumers, delivering both sound financial returns and real change. As an OFN Member, a CDFI can leverage the strength of the 200+-strong OFN Network to increase its impact and help lead the CDFI industry by adding its voice to OFN’s policy work. Membership offers CDFIs the opportunity to receive discounts on OFN products and services, as well as access to Members-only services.
• OFN Allies are organizations and individuals that share our mission and want to be active partners in the opportunity finance industry.  These organizations – including CDFIs that are not yet prepared for OFN Membership – and individuals support the industry and OFN’s core purpose of aligning capital with social, economic, and political justice. OFN Allies received priority access to discounts and OFN resources.
