community development finance association

Responsible Finance, which was formerly known as the Community Development Finance Association (CDFA), serves as the national membership association for Community Development Finance Institutions (CDFIs) throughout the United Kingdom. Its core mission is to support and represent a network of finance providers that offer fair, affordable loans and support to individuals, businesses, and social enterprises that are often excluded from mainstream financial services. The organization advocates on behalf of the CDFI sector, helps its members build capacity, and works to grow the sector's impact on creating a more inclusive and equitable financial system.
