2023 – 2024 Impact Report
Made by History. Made for this Moment.
Opportunity Finance Network’s 2023–2024 Impact Report — “Made by History. Made for this Moment.” — captures two pivotal years of transformation across the community development finance industry. CDFIs are a proven model for creating opportunity in America, with more than $124 billion in cumulative financing, 3.4 million jobs created or maintained, and over 1 million small businesses supported across more than three decades. As the nation’s leading CDFI intermediary, OFN fuels this momentum — mobilizing capital; delivering capacity-building tools, training, and insights; and advancing policy solutions that empower 475+ mission-driven members to expand opportunity in urban, rural, and Native communities historically left out of mainstream finance. See the milestones that brought us to this moment — and look ahead with us to the future we will build together.
“Over the past two years, America has navigated a rapidly shifting landscape — marked by economic uncertainty and an urgent conversation about building a resilient future. Amid these challenges, one thing has remained constant: the vital role of CDFIs in delivering opportunity for all.”
– Harold Pettigrew OFN President and Chief Executive Officer
