The Council of Development Finance Agencies is a national nonprofit association based in Columbus, Ohio, that advances development finance concerns and interests. Its membership spans public, private, and non-profit development entities, including state, county, and municipal agencies and authorities that support economic development financing programs. These programs encompass tax-exempt and taxable bonds, credit enhancement, and direct debt or equity investments, along with related non-governmental and private organizations such as regional investment banks, bond counsel, bond insurers, trustees, venture capital firms, rating agencies, and other entities involved in economic development finance. As a national forum, CDFA facilitates information sharing and collaboration among its diverse members involved in development financing. A recent development is its partnership with the U.S. Department of Agriculture to administer a program. It also hosts webinars with private sector partners on topics such as bond market trends and financing rural broadband.
