Community Development Financial Institutions in the Southeast: Surveying the Social Investment Landscape
CDFI Survey Background
In 2009, the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond began conducting a survey of CDFIs in the Southeast region of the United States. The results from the 2009 survey were used to create a directory of CDFIs in the Southeast, as well as to inform research about CDFI capitalization and service provision in the Southeast. Since then, the survey has been redeployed on a biennial basis, with assistance from the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta in 2011 and 2015, and from the Support Center, a Raleigh, North Carolina-based, CDFI, in 2013 and 2015. Results from the 2011 and 2013 surveys were used to update the online directory of CDFIs, and in 2015, the survey was revised to include more detailed questions about capitalization, demand, capacity, non-lending programs and services, and impact investing. To maintain consistency with past surveys, the 2015 survey defined the Southeast as Alabama, Arkansas, the District of Columbia, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia and West Virginia.
