Lending Where it Counts

During a four-day memorable gathering, more than 1,500 CDFI practitioners, investors, partners, and funders convened in the nation’s capital. Together, they celebrated the remarkable work CDFIs do in rural, urban, and Native communities nationwide.

From day one until the very end, the 2019 OFN conference offered something for everyone: 119 sessions across 11 tracks, five tours – including four in D.C. and a full day tour of Baltimore — many special guests

The days were full and the learning inspiring.
