The U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Community Development Financial Institutions Fund (CDFI Fund) has opened the funding round for the Equitable Recovery Program (fiscal year 2022). CDFI-designated credit unions have until Aug. 23 to apply.

About the CDFI Equitable Recovery Program
The CDFI Fund is making $1.73 billion available to help eligible financial institutions expand lending, provide grants, and make investments in low-to-moderate-income communities, including minority communities, that need better access to financial services and were disproportionately affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. Award funds may be expended for two types of eligible activities: financial products and services and operational support.
