📢 Mark Your Calendar: Monthly CDFI Coalition Advocacy Calls Begin January 15th! Join us for the first call of the year on January 15th at 4 PM EST! These calls are open to everyone—you do not need to be a member of the CDFI Coalition to participate. Stay informed, engaged, and empowered in our mission to support CDFIs and the communities we serve. These monthly calls will: ✅ Keep you updated on key developments in Washington, including the federal budget, appropriations processes for FY 2025 and FY 2026, and legislation impacting the CDFI Fund. ✅ Provide updated talking points, communication resources, and peer feedback to strengthen your advocacy efforts. ✅ Share strategies for engaging elected officials, their staff, and other stakeholders. ✅ Exchange ideas on how to involve borrowers, beneficiaries, board members, and investors in our campaigns. ✅ Highlight success stories and challenges directly from CDFIs navigating engagement with policymakers and federal agencies. This is a great opportunity to collaborate, share insights, and advocate for the work we’re doing to empower underserved communities. 🔗 Register here: https://lnkd.in/ePfMMVgh Help us spread the word—these calls are open to all CDFI stakeholders, so feel free to share the registration link widely! #CDFIsInAction #Advocacy #CommunityDevelopment #CDFICoalition
