CDFIs offer financial services such as loan products and business support.
CDFIs may offer favorable financing terms to farmers because they are mission-based lenders who have a defined target population which they serve. For example, the U.S. Treasury's eligible target populations for CDFIs include low income communities or historically underserved audiences such as African American, Hispanic, Native American, Persons with Disabilities and other groups.
