View the Recording: The CDFI Fund was established by the Riegle Community Development and Regulatory Improvement Act of 1994 on September 23, 1994, as a bipartisan initiative. Since this time, the CDFI Fund has awarded over $2 billion to community development organizations and financial institutions; it has awarded allocations of New Markets Tax Credits that will attract private-sector investments totaling $54 billion, including $1 billion of special allocation authority to be used for the recovery and redevelopment of the Gulf Opportunity Zone.
In this webinar, we met and heard from current CDFI Fund Director, Jodie Harris, along with the two most recent past Directors, Annie Donovan and Donna Gambrell. PCG’s own Jeannine Jacokes moderated this esteemed panel and together, they explored the history of impact and shared their insights on the community development field from the perspective of being Directors at the CDFI Fund. Watch as the women leaders give their thoughts on successes, challenges, and where they believe this field will go in the next 25 years.
