Hi Friend,

A new 3-course series from NCRC invites you to explore the world of Community Development Financial Institutions (CDFIs). The series is designed for NCRC member organizations interested in launching a CDFI.

The series includes two online learning sessions, and culminates in an in-person, comprehensive, five-day training in Las Vegas July 30 to August 4, 2023. In order to attend the Las Vegas training, it is mandatory to complete virtual learning courses CDFI 101 and 201. Once completed, you will be invited to apply for a scholarship for CDFI 301: Putting your CDFI Wheels in Motion in Las Vegas.
