Member Benefits
CDFA greatly appreciates the support of our members and, in return, we offer the following benefits:
Discounted Registration Rates for CDFA Trainings & Development Finance Summit
CDFA Members receive reduced rates to all CDFA events, including Training Institute Courses, the Development Finance Summit, and other workshops and seminars. This benefit proves the most significant financial compensation for membership and can ultimately cover the cost of annual dues.
Reduced Rates for Publications in the CDFA Bookstore & Special Offers from Industry Partners
CDFA offers members reduced rates through the online bookstore. Aside from the original CDFA publications, CDFA has partnered with Novogradac & Company to provide their industry publications at a reduced rate to Council members.
Exclusive Access to the CDFA Federal Financing Clearinghouse
The Federal Financing Clearinghouse is an up-to-date index of federal programs, much like the Federal Financing Reference Guide. However, as an online resource, the Clearinghouse is routinely updated to ensure real-time accuracy. When Agencies change their programs, we will change our listings. Access to the Clearinghouse is an exclusive member benefit.
Free Job Postings in CDFA’s Weekly E-Newsletter
CDFA members have the opportunity to post job openings, free of charge, in CDFA’s Development Finance Review Weekly e-newsletter.
