The National Bankers Association Foundation's Mission is to ensure underserved communities have fair access to transformative financial education, services, and resources. To accomplish this, we support the work of Minority Depository Institutions (MDIs) through our four strategic pillars.
Financial Wellness
Develop innovative financial education programs and services that benefit households, small businesses, and nonprofits.
Entrepreneurship & Small Business
Provide capacity-building services and facilitate access to capital for underserved and undercapitalized businesses.
Research & Impact
Publish cutting edge sector research and use insights to inform the development of responsive products, services, policies, and solutions to advocate for mission-driven banks and the communities they serve.
Capacity Building
Serve as a central point for collaboration and capacity building. By working together and sharing resources, mission-driven banks can improve operational efficiencies, access larger pools of capital and have a greater voice in shaping policy.
