### Invest in Communities That Need It Most

Community Development Financial Institutions (CDFIs) are mission-driven financial institutions that provide credit, capital, and financial services to underserved markets and populations. If you're looking to align your investment portfolio with social impact, CDFI participation offers a powerful way to generate both financial returns and measurable community benefits.

This **CDFI Investment Participation Application** template helps CDFIs, impact investors, and community development organizations streamline the process of onboarding investors who want to support affordable housing, small business development, financial inclusion, and economic opportunity in low-income and marginalized communities.

#### Why Paperform for CDFI Applications?

Paperform makes it easy to create professional, compliant application forms that reflect your organization's mission and values. With conditional logic, you can tailor questions based on investor type, certification status, and investment goals. Calculations help project potential returns and social impact metrics, while integrations with your CRM and accounting tools keep investor data organized and secure.

**Stepper** (stepper.io) can automate your investor onboarding workflow—routing applications for compliance review, triggering follow-up emails, updating investment tracking systems, and notifying your team when documents are needed. This keeps your team focused on building relationships and expanding impact, not chasing paperwork.

For CDFIs that need formalized agreements or disclosures, **Papersign** (papersign.com) lets you convert approved applications into subscription agreements, risk disclosures, or commitment letters that investors can sign electronically—all linked back to the original application for a complete audit trail.
