CDFA - 2018 National Development Finance Summit - Marketplace

CDFA Project Marketplace

The CDFA National Summit is a deal-making event at its core.

Communities of all sizes are encouraged to submit projects in need of financing to be presented during the CDFA Project Marketplace. Private sector participants can partner with communities on presentations as well.
