Mastercard Explores the Impact of CDFI Networks on Small Business Growth in the US.

Mastercard Strive USA supports community lenders, including 1,500 Community Development Finance Institutions (CDFIs), to address small business challenges. CDFI networks, such as Opportunity Finance Network (OFN) and Inclusiv, serve hundreds of CDFIs and credit unions nationwide. These networks provide advocacy, best practices, funding sources, strategic partnerships, and new products/services, helping CDFIs expand and innovate. Mastercard Strive USA has intentionally supported these organizations to create tangible impact across the small business ecosystem.
