Community Reinvestment Fund, USA Announces CEO Transition

National nonprofit Community Reinvestment Fund, USA (CRF), is working to create big impact through community development lending.

Congratulations to Community Reinvestment Fund, USA’s (CRF) Jennifer Ericson for being named 2018’s Coleman Mission-Based SBA Lender of the Year!

Congratulations, Krysta! This honor is well-deserved and we are proud to have you on the CRF team.

We are thrilled and proud to announce that CRF’s president and chief financial officer, Jennifer Anderson, has been selected as one of 2018’s Top Women in Finance by Finance & Commerce.

The new CRF website, which was last updated in 2013, reflects the organization’s new strategic plan and emphasizes how access to capital, catalyzed finance ecosystems, and policy and advocacy work together to empower communities and change lives. We are dramatically scaling our work and transforming the community development finance system to better serve underinvested communities across the nation.

In the mid-1980s, Frank Altman and Warren Hanson had a revolutionary idea: create a secondary market for community development loans, which would help other community development organizations weather the uncertain funding atmosphere of the time.

Bond represents the largest single bond loan to ever be originated through the U.S Treasury’s Bond Guarantee Program and brings Clearinghouse CDFI’s total issuance to $350 million since 2014

Chris Quinn needed to expand or he knew he would see his business wilt.
