*In 1994, the United States Department of Treasury allowed non-profits to become certified Community Development Financial Institutions (CDFI) as a way to provide small business loans to entrepreneurs and business owners who couldn’t qualify for traditional bank loans. More flexible and lenient than banks, CDFIs operate across the nation. In Chicago, there are CDFIs that are successful in providing capital to underserved markets.
