Partners for the Common Good (Partners) and OFN have partnered to create the Economic Justice Partnership Fund (EJPF) to support primarily smaller and medium sized CDFIs that have difficulty efficiently accessing sufficient capital for larger transactions. Using EJPF, CDFIs can provide flexible loans of up to $6 million for affordable housing and community facilities projects across the country.

Since 2001, Partners has played a leadership role in facilitating the growth and development of the community development banking sector by managing the Community Development Bankers Association (CDBA). CDBA is the national trade association of the CDFI bank sector. CDFI banks are focused on providing access to capital and responsible financial services in low-income urban, rural and Native American communities. All members are double bottom line enterprises that balance margin and mission.
