The Community Development Financial Institutions (CDFI) Fund, part of the U.S. Department of the Treasury, is inviting applications for the FY 2024 Bank Enterprise Award Program, aimed at supporting FDIC-insured financial institutions that promote community and economic development. The program seeks to provide monetary awards to banks and thrifts that increase their investments in Community Development Financial Institutions (CDFIs) and enhance qualified lending and service activities in economically distressed areas. This initiative is crucial for leveraging additional capital to foster economic growth in underserved communities across the nation. Interested applicants must submit their proposals by May 28, 2024, with awards ranging from $10,000 to $1,000,000, and a total funding pool of $40 million available for approximately 190 awards.
