CDFI Survey Results Over Time
Abstract: This spring, the Richmond Fed led efforts to collect data on community development financial institutions (CDFIs) through the 2025 Federal Reserve CDFI Survey. In general, this year's survey respondents reported relatively strong demand for CDFIs' products, noted the importance of federal funding for their organizations, cited staffing and technological challenges, and expressed hopes to expand in the future. Since 2019, the Federal Reserve CDFI Survey has been conducted every two years (with the exception of a special COVID-19 CDFI Survey in 2020). Understanding the current industry landscape can provide awareness on how CDFIs expand access to credit, and looking at past results can shed light on how the CDFI industry has shifted over time.
