Community Financial Institutions (CFIs) – Community Development Financial Institutions, Minority Depository Institutions, Certified Development Companies, and Microloan Intermediaries – excel at reaching underserved small businesses, including minority-, women-, and veteran-owned entrepreneurs, in need of capital. To increase access to capital in underserved markets, by September 30, 2023, the SBA will expand the number of CFIs enrolled in Lender Match by 20%.
