The National Disability Finance Coalition (NDFC) works to ensure people with disabilities are intentionally included in community development finance.
Across the United States, more than 70 million adults live with a disability. Yet disability remains one of the most overlooked dimensions of economic opportunity in lending, investment, and community development.
NDFC brings together Community Development Financial Institutions (CDFIs), funders, disability organizations, policymakers, and advocates to close that gap. Through research, technical assistance, field-building, and federal advocacy, we help ensure people with disabilities are included in the flow of capital that supports small businesses, affordable housing, assistive technology, and community facilities in rural, Native, and urban communities across the country.
When you become an NDFC sponsor, you support work that:
- Advances disability-forward policy that expands access to capital
- Equips CDFIs and lenders with tools and strategies to better serve disabled borrowers
- Elevates proven models in disability finance across the country
- Strengthens a growing national field dedicated to economic opportunity for people with disabilities
Join us in building a financial system where people with disabilities can participate fully, grow businesses, access housing, and build long-term economic stability.
