That’s a Wrap on 2024: OFN’s Year in Review

OFN wraps up 2024 with a recap on our growth and monumental moments!

Read time: 3 minutes

From an Oscar-nominated film, to celebrating 40 years of history, and the launch of the largest-ever climate program – 2024 has been a year to remember.

We are made for this moment. 2024 showed us that. But this is more than a slogan – it’s a fact. 

CDFIs were looked to, included, and sought after as key partners in this moment when we face a widening wealth gap, an immense climate crisis, and a divided nation. CDFIs have the strength, knowledge, and bipartisan support to bring economic opportunity to the most vulnerable urban, rural, and Native communities across the country.  

This year OFN and our network of over 460 CDFIs did what we always do – we showed up. For people, for communities, and for the planet.  

So, let’s take a look at how OFN expanded our reach, influenced national policy, and supported our network of CDFIs.
