The National Alliance of Latino CDFI Executives (NALCE), an initiative of the National Association for Latino Community Asset Builders (NALCAB), is the nation’s leading voice for Latino-led and Latino-serving Community Development Financial Institutions.
As the preeminent national voice for Latino-led and Latino-serving CDFIs, NALCE connects leaders, builds organizational strength, and catalyzes investment to expand opportunity.
Launched in May 2022 by the National Association for Latino Community Asset Builders (NALCAB), NALCE brings together more than 70 CDFI executives committed to meeting the financing needs of Latino communities nationwide. Through this alliance, members increase access to affordable financial products that help grow assets, support small businesses, and strengthen neighborhood economies.
NALCE supports Latino-led and Latino-serving CDFIs to expand economic opportunity and prosperity in Latino communities nationwide. We do this by increasing access to capital, building organizational capacity, strengthening peer networks through CDFI learning and collaboration, and catalyzing investment that drives long-term community impact.
Made possible with the generous support of Capital One.
Launched in 2022 with support from the Citi Foundation, NALCAB’s CDFI Certification Program helps emerging nonprofit loan funds secure CDFI certification—an essential milestone for accessing future investment.
Through technical assistance, training, grantmaking, and peer learning, NALCAB and NALCE have supported more than 45 organizations on the path to certification. In 2024 alone, 12 participants secured $3.6 million in CDFI Fund Technical Assistance Awards, tripling the number of NALCAB members receiving these grants in the past three years.
