The African American Alliance of CDFI CEOs provides a great starting point for finding a list of Black-led CDFIs. The Alliance is a coalition of over 75 Black-led CDFIs that includes loan funds, credit unions, venture capital firms, and non-profit developers. These organizations are spread across the U.S. and have a critical role in promoting economic mobility and wealth-building in African American communities.
