### Invest in Community-Driven Financial Change

Community Development Financial Institutions (CDFIs) play a vital role in providing capital and financial services to underserved communities across the country. This **CDFI Investment Application Form** is designed for investors seeking to make meaningful social impact while participating in mission-driven financial institutions that prioritize economic justice and community development.

Whether you're an individual investor, foundation, corporate entity, or institutional investor, this template helps you capture essential investment criteria, social impact goals, and compliance requirements in one streamlined application. The form is specifically tailored for CDFI-certified organizations and those working toward certification, ensuring you gather the right information to assess alignment with your fund's mission and regulatory requirements.

#### Why Paperform is perfect for CDFI investment applications

**Paperform** enables CDFIs and impact investment funds to create professional, compliant application forms that reflect their values and operational needs.
