About Opportunity Finance Network (OFN)
OFN Helps Capital Flow Where it Counts
Based in Washington, D.C., Opportunity Finance Network (OFN) is a leading national network of nearly 500 community development financial institutions (CDFIs) nationwide.
Our network of community development loan funds, banks, venture capital funds, and credit unions works to ensure communities underserved by mainstream finance have access to affordable, responsible financial products and services.
OFN is a trusted intermediary between CDFIs and public and private sector partners — foundations, corporations, banks, government agencies, and others. For nearly 40 years, our team has helped OFN partners invest in CDFIs to catalyze change and create economic opportunities for people and places traditional finance doesn’t reach.

Voice
