Arkansas CDFI Coalition

CDFIs and partner organizations working together to provide loans and critical support services to Arkansas businesses. In 2021 the Arkansas CDFI Coaltion members collectively deployed $440 million in loans helping to create and/or sustain 30,000 jobs. This included PPP loans made to small businesses that had largely been unable to access those funds in FY20. In addition to the funding, AR CDFI Coalition members and allies provided technical assistance and training to 5,900 businesses and $95 million in consumer loans.
