On July 14 and 15, leaders from across the CDFI ecosystem gathered at the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago in a collaborative with the The Center for Impact Finance to explore a timely question: “How can collaboration, not just consolidation, help strengthen mission-driven finance?”

Inclusiv’s President/CEO Cathie Mahon spoke on the panel covering "Collaborative Models Short of Merger," alongside Jennifer Pryce of Calvert Impact and Patrick Davis of Moonwake Technologies. The conversation explored how shared services, strategic partnerships, and networked approaches can help CDFIs build capacity, strengthen resilience, and expand their impact while remaining true to their individual missions.
