OFN41 2025

We’re proud to be part of OFN41, the nation’s largest gathering of mission-driven lenders. From October 20–23, 2025 in Washington, D.C., the OFN Conference brings together CDFIs, investors, policymakers, and industry leaders to collaborate, innovate, and expand economic opportunity. As a sponsor, speaker and exhibitor, Lenders Cooperative is excited to share how our technology and services can help CDFIs strengthen lending programs and scale their impact.

Most CDFI lenders will cite three topics as the most pressing needs to deliver on their mission in the current lending environment. The need for a single platform to facilitate both origination and servicing, the need to generate more qualified leads and the need to transfer credit risk in small business lending. In this panel discussion, you’ll hear how an innovative collaboration between one of the largest CDFI lenders and a forward-thinking commercial lending platform provider went from the seed of ideation to reality, bringing to life two much needed innovations for the CDFI industry.
