Join Us for CDVCA’s 30th Anniversary Conference in Washington DC
This milestone event marks 30 years of leadership in impact investing and community development venture capital (CDVC). Together, we’ll celebrate and advance our mission to bring people together around promoting the availability and use of startup and growth risk capital to create good jobs, build productive wealth, and entrepreneurial capacity in underinvested communities throughout the nation—while addressing society’s most pressing challenges, including climate change.
At this year’s conference, you will:
- Gain insights from trailblazing CDVC funds and thought leaders on how they are tackling today’s challenges with innovative solutions.
- Network with fund managers, investors, ecosystem partners, and government officials working to drive impact and economic opportunity in distressed communities.
- Learn from investors and capital allocators about the qualities they look for in their investments.
- Learn about government programs, including the CDFI Fund, SSBCI, Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund, SBIC, and others.
- Shape the Future of CDVC: What are new trends in the industry and in investor interests? What will a new Trump administration mean for the industry?
