Training Schedule for "Strengthening Small and Emerging CDFIs" Capacity Building Initiative Series Released
Washington, DC—The Community Development Financial Institutions Fund’s (CDFI Fund) Capacity Building Initiative has released the training schedule for the “Strengthening Small and Emerging CDFIs” training series. Five courses will be held through the summer and early fall of 2013 to provide smaller CDFIs the opportunity to receive training designed for their unique needs.
This training and technical assistance program will benefit CDFI loan funds, credit unions, and venture capital funds that have a strong ambition to serve their target market with greater impact. CDFIs serving specific regions of persistent poverty that are traditionally underserved by financial institutions, such as Appalachia, the Colonias, and the Mississippi Delta, are especially encouraged to participate.
The workshops will focus upon topics such as growth and sustainability, overcoming barriers to growth, building effective partnerships, and geographic and product expansion. The workshops are free and a limited number of travel scholarships are available.
An informational webinar about the trainings, including further information about the training content and how to apply to attend a session, will be held on April 24, 2013 at 2:00 p.m. EDT. Click here to register for the webinar.
