SWC is a leading Community Development Financial Institutions (CDFI) consulting firm for banks. Our clients are community banks that serve historically underserved and economically distressed communities with a variety of unmet financial needs. In order to meet these challenges, we help our clients access and leverage funding programs designed to incentivize financing and development activities in these communities.
We have made it our business to master the complicated world of CDFI grant funding. To facilitate access to these programs, we have created scalable processes for our clients, while also providing targeted tools that enable our clients to tell their unique stories. We have a long history of proven success in equipping the banks we work with to reach out to those areas within their communities that need it most.
