CDFI Certification

Monthly Webinars

The CDFI Fund’s monthly CDFI Certification Webinars are intended to serve as a forum for potential CDFI Certification Applicants, Certified CDFIs, and other CDFI Certification stakeholders to ask questions and discuss CDFI Certification and the CDFI Certification process. The webinars are open to the general public and do not require advance registration.

During each webinar, CDFI Fund staff will provide a walkthrough demonstration on a specific aspect of the CDFI Certification Application. This will provide participants the opportunity to receive detailed instructions and guidance on key aspects of the CDFI Certification Application. An updated calendar of webinars and topics is provided below.

Those with general CDFI Certification inquiries will still be provided an opportunity ask their questions after these presentations. Given the detailed nature of many questions that are asked during these sessions and the specific circumstances involved, organizations are encouraged to submit their questions via a Service Request through the CDFI Fund’s Awards Management Information System (AMIS).
