We Received Our CDFI Certification
We recently received our Community Development Financial Institution certification from the U.S. Department of Treasury.
Backstory
The purpose of the U.S. Treasury’s Community Development Financial Institutions Fund or CDFI is to promote economic growth and opportunity aimed specifically towards financially underbanked communities in McLennan County.
McLennan Community Development Fund’s lending program and training opportunities are designed as investments in economic growth and sustainability in Waco, Bellmead, Beverly Hills, Robinson, and Lacy Lakeview. Many small businesses lack access to the necessary funds and financial resources they need to thrive. Through McCIF, small businesses will have access to loans and business training opportunities to help them develop and grow.
Our Mission
The mission of the McLennan Community Investment Fund (McCIF) is to promote economic growth and stability in McLennan County’s distressed communities by supporting small businesses, increasing access to capital, and driving sustainable community and economic development.
Our Purpose
As a financial institution, McCIF will use a market-driven approach to economic development by providing financial aid for small businesses currently in operation in the community. This financial aid will generate economic activity and create jobs for McLennan County. We will seek certification by the United States Treasury as a Community Development Financial Institution and financial assistance to carry out our mission to help small businesses and the economy in Waco, Bellmead, Beverly Hills, Robinson, and Lacy Lakeview.
