About this grant
The Legislature designed Cal IIP to provide grants enhancing the capacity and ability of community development financial institutions (CDFIs) to provide programs including technical assistance and access to capital to economically disadvantaged communities throughout California. CDFIs can use the grants to fund services and operations that contribute to the CDFIs overall community development mission and goals. CDFIs can also use the grants to supplement their net assets and increase the capacity to attract additional funding.
