Why We're Here:
What is a Commnity Development Financial Instituton?

Primarily housed at Chicago's Polsky Center Exchange for Entreprenuership & Innovation, we understand that economic mobility and community wellness go hand in hand. We expand access to capital for economically disadvantaged communities by leveraging the arts and education as pathways for both economic development and social transformation. Through this work, we aim to reduce poverty-driven crime and improve overall quality of life amongst Chicagoans.
What's inside our community?
Inside our community is a living, evolving ecosystem where you can take a class one week, attend an event the next, or simply discover new opportunities across the city of Chicago.
