The national CDFI Survey grew out of the Richmond Fed’s biennial Survey of CDFIs in the Southeast, which began in 2009 and was deployed from Maryland to Texas. Starting in 2019, the survey was administered in partnership with the 12 regional Federal Reserve Banks, the CDFI Fund, Opportunity Finance Network, First Nations Oweesta Corporation, NeighborWorks America and Inclusiv.
