Community Development Finance

Community investing is one of the four key strategies of socially responsible investors. Community development financial institutions' primary business is supporting local economic empowerment, reducing poverty, financing affordable housing, and job creation. Such a bank, credit union, or other financial institution may work within a small locality, regionally, or globally.
