Julie Quinn
Chief Development Officer
Housing Trust Silicon Valley
CDFIs have long relied on a few mainstays for capitalization–banks, foundations, and the CDFI Fund. Recently, though, we have started to see increased investment interest from non-bank corporations. Today’s episode profiles one of the CDFIs that has been doing this the longest and with the most success, as demonstrated by a high-profile $50 million investment from Google last year. Understanding how CDFIs can work with non-bank partners to receive meaningful investments, and not just small grants, may be a critical new tool in the industry’s toolbox.
