Financial Innovations Roundtable
The Financial Innovations Roundtable (FIR) creates cross-sector partnerships among conventional and non-traditional lenders, investors, and markets to provide low-income communities with increased access to capital and financial services. FIR is not only a think tank, it is a “think-do” tank. Some of the most successful ideas developed at the FIR have been implemented, resulting in new tools, policies, and practices. These innovations have resulted in millions of dollars being directed into investments in affordable housing, small and minority businesses, community facilities, and other community development efforts.
