OFN increases capital flow, strengthens CDFIs, and amplifies the voice of the CDFI industry by partnering with investors, funders, and policymakers to align capital with opportunity.
Opportunity Finance Network channels capital into CDFIs through operating support, pass-through funding, and program-specific grants tied to technology, finance justice, and clean energy. A defining pattern in the recent record is the scale of support for CDFI infrastructure: in 2023, OFN’s Google.org-supported technology grant program awarded $750,000 each to Oweesta Corporation and Community Reinvestment Fund, alongside another $500,000 to Entrepreneur Fund. The foundation also backs finance-justice work through subgrants such as $500,000 to Coastal Enterprises in 2024 and $500,000 to Pacific Community Ventures in 2024. Its active grant programs show a broad lending and intermediation role, including support for affordable housing, small business lending, Native community finance, rural development, and climate and green finance. Recent operating grants reinforce the same focus on CDFI capacity, with awards to organizations such as White Earth Investment Initiative and Neighborhood Development Center Inc in 2025. Across these grants, the common thread is support for lenders and intermediaries serving communities mainstream finance often misses.
Technology capacity building is a clear theme in OFN’s grantmaking. Under the OFN CDFI Tech Grant Program supported by Google.org, the foundation gave $750,000 to Community Reinvestment Fund in 2023 and $500,000 to Capital Impact Partners the same year for technology capacity and innovation. Finance justice is another recurring area: in 2024, OFN awarded $500,000 to Self-help Ventures Fund and $500,000 to Akiptan through the Finance Justice Fund as subgrants. Native community finance also appears in the recent grants record, including $500,000 operating grants in 2025 to Spruce Root Inc and Cook Inlet Lending Center Inc. Climate and green finance shows up through the Renewable and Energy Efficiency Financing Grant Program, which supported member CDFIs with grants for renewable energy and energy-efficiency financing.
Typical grants cluster at a high level: the p25 grant is $100,000, the median is $150,000, and the p75 is $250,000. Recent awards also show repeated $500,000 and $750,000 grants, especially in technology and operating support. The 2023–2025 record includes multiple recipients appearing in more than one year, such as Spruce Root, which received a $500,000 Finance Justice Fund subgrant in 2024 and a $500,000 operating grant in 2025. OFN is a regular funder with a national reach, and its grantmaking includes operating grants, subgrants, and pass-through corporate-supported programs. Some programs accept unsolicited requests, including the Renewable and Energy Efficiency Financing Grant Program and the CDFI Technology Grant Program.
