CDFI Fund Launches Second
Capacity Building Initiative Series for Native CDFIs
Building upon the success of its first Capacity Building Initiative series for Native Community Development Financial Institutions (Native CDFIs), the Community Development Financial Institutions Fund (CDFI Fund) today launched The Leadership Journey II: Continuing Native CDFI Growth and Excellence. The training series is open to a new cohort of Native CDFIs to participate in a comprehensive program of targeted training and technical assistance. The series is provided by NeighborWorks® America with specialized input from the Seven Sisters Community Development Group.
“The additional resources provided through The Leadership Journey series will provide even more Native CDFIs with the specialized assistance needed to strengthen their organizations and serve their communities,” said CDFI Fund Director Donna J. Gambrell. “Participants in the first training series discovered new ways of looking at their institutions and how they can position themselves for growth. I am pleased that we are able to expand this valuable opportunity for Native CDFIs.”
The CDFI Fund has a long history of supporting economic development efforts in Native American, Alaska Native, and Native Hawaiian communities (Native Communities). The Leadership Journey II builds upon these efforts by creating a tailored, intensive program that allows Native CDFIs and their leadership to focus on capacity building in the context of the distinct challenges and opportunities present in Native Communities.
Certified Native CDFIs will be invited to apply to participate with a unique cohort of 15 organizations that will collaborate over a two-year period to access training, technical assistance, and executive coaching opportunities. New components to The Leadership Journey II include a formal peer mentoring program and the future development of a virtual resource bank for the CDFI Fund’s website.
