CRF Announces Seven New Board of Trustees Members

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.

CRF’s Connect2Capital platform is a new way to support small businesses that do not qualify for traditional credit products by matching them with other flexible sources of financing from mission-driven Community Development Financial Institutions (CDFIs).
