CFED is all about providing a ladder of opportunity to the millions of Americans struggling to make ends meet, helping them build assets and wealth to put them on surer financial footing.

CFED is recognized as a hub of innovations that expand economic opportunity because we effectively link community practice to private markets and policy.

We’ve tested ideas and helped to translate them into practical approaches that have helped millions of people—young and old—save money, pay for college, buy a home, start a business—and ultimately, change their lives and transform their communities.

As CFED approaches its 30th anniversary, we inaugurate innovation@cfed to accelerate the evolution of the next generation of effective strategies to expand economic opportunity. innovation@cfed includes Innovators-in-Residence, Innovative Ideas and Innovation Summits.
