CDFI Boards and Fundraising

Over the course of 2014, FUND Consulting worked on seven strategic plans with CDFI loan funds and banks.  All of the final strategic plans included a goal that was tied to fundraising and / or increasing Board involvement in fundraising efforts. This led FUND to speculate on the current role that CDFI Boards are playing in terms of raising funds. To answer this question, FUND Consulting conducted a research project that included a survey of staff at CDFIs nationwide. In a series of blog posts, FUND published findings in a series of blog posts, which are available here.
