CDFI Certification
As a CDFI, Craft3 puts the community first. In Oregon and Washington, we do this by providing businesses, nonprofit organizations, individuals and others with loans to promote local economic and community development.
Community Development Financial Institutions - or CDFIs - are certified by the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s CDFI Fund. All are mission-driven financial institutions that are dedicated to providing financial services to meet the needs of economically disadvantaged individuals within underserved communities.
