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.

The IA 50 is intended to illustrate the breadth of impact investment fund managers operating today, though it is not a comprehensive list. These 50 firms have been selected to demonstrate a wide range of impact investing activities across geographies, sectors and asset classes.
