The theme of the 2004 Institute is “Increasing Impact in a New Era.” On this 10th anniversary of the first Institute and the CDFI Fund, the program will highlight the industry’s successes and engage participants in a candid dialogue about the future of the CDFI field-particularly in these times of scarce public and private resources. The CDFI Institute is the only conference that draws participants from all sectors of the industry to learn from one another and to discuss strategic issues facing the field. Come to Washington and tour local CDFIs to see first hand the results they are achieving. Be the first to hear from CDFI Fund staff about the changes made to the FY 2004 round of the Financial Assistance program.
