Increasing investment in Community Development Finance Institutions (CDFIs)
The UK Community Development Finance Institution (CDFI) sector currently doesn’t have a mechanism to aggregate data that would give investors a clearer picture of key metrics (e.g. loan default rates, data on declines, and social value calculations) across the sector. A solution that aggregates CDFI data will facilitate an improved due diligence process and enable investors to make more informed decisions about investing into the sector.
We are looking for a research partner to help us to:
- Understand the best way the field can collect data about itself
- Consider where and how this data should be stored
- Decide how this data should be governed
The project will kick off in July / August 2023 with a final report on the proposed solution expected by February 2024.
We are accepting proposals until midday 12pm, Wednesday 12th July 2023. Please see below for more details.
You can contact Mark Hall at Mark.Hall@impactinvest.org.uk for any questions. We look forward to reviewing your submission.
