Inclusiv and the UNH Carsey School Center for Impact Finance have partnered to bring to you the Community Development Financial Institution (CDFI) Learning Center course. This three-week course will take you thru three modules focused on creating a pipeline of CDFI practitioners in the credit union industry that will have a deep knowledge in Community Development Financial Institution (CDFI) history, current state, certification, financial inclusion and sustainable strategies and models of CDFI growth.
Slide decks, case studies, speakers, and assignments will give you practical skills and information on how lending deeper in your community can contribute to the larger credit union movement in sustainable and equitable financing for all.
In partnership, Inclusiv and the Carsey School Center for Impact Finance at the University of New Hampshire, believe that Credit Unions have a critical practitioner role in financial inclusion and equitable financial resources to support their members and community.
