The New York State CDFI Coalition was founded 25 years ago as a project of the National Federation of Community Development Credit Unions under Cliff Rosenthal’s leadership. Initial support from the Robert Sterling Clark Foundation launched the Coalition. Cathie Mahon (now President/CEO of Inclusiv) was hired as the first Coordinator. The steering committee was soon expanded to include leaders from Alternatives Federal Credit Union (Ithaca), Rural Opportunities, now Pathstone (Rochester) and the Community Loan Fund of the Capital District. Many of these institutions are still represented on the Coalition’s board.
We welcome CDFIs, stakeholders, and government officials to join the NYS CDFI Coalition as members, supporters, or sponsors. Together, we can support the work – and celebrate the milestones – of the CDFIs that foster more vibrant, healthy, and just communities across New York State for decades to come.
