Each lender is listed once, under the strongest evidence we have. 31 certified CDFIs are headquartered in Pennsylvania (CDFI Fund list, 21 Oct 2026); 14 of them appear in the first groups because their website names an area here.

Loan types with too few lenders here for a page of their own. Each row quotes the lender's website.

25 certified loan funds headquartered in Pennsylvania are matched to a Form 990 or 990-EZ; median total assets $8.6M. End-of-year figures self-reported to the IRS, from the IRS Annual Extract of Tax-Exempt Organization Financial Data; each row shows its own fiscal year. Assets are the organisation’s whole balance sheet, not only its loans; “Loans receivable” is Form 990 Part X line 7 (notes and loans receivable); “—” means that line was empty or zero, not that the fund has no loans.

Certified CDFIs were the lender, the CDC or the third-party lender on 75 SBA approvals (63 7(a) loans and 12 504 projects) for borrowers in Pennsylvania in fiscal years 2020–2026, from 14 CDFIs. The 7(a) loans total $51.5M approved.

Most SBA approvals here: Financial Resources Federal Credit Union (21), NYBDC Local Development Corporation (15), Asian Bank (15), Valley Economic Development Partners, Inc. (5), Community First Fund dba Finanta (4).

Approval is not disbursement. Each lender page shows its own SBA figures.

1,678 loans and investments totaling $216M (median $15,000) were reported to the CDFI Fund for borrowers and projects in Pennsylvania in fiscal year 2022, by 89 reporting CDFIs.

Of 793 individual borrowers whose income was reported, 68% had family income at or below 80% of the area median.

CDFI banks and credit unions also reported 17,473 consumer loans in Pennsylvania totaling $72.2M (Consumer Loan Report, tract totals, so no median); they counted 11% of them as serving low-income borrowers.

Counties with the most recorded loans and investments

Fiscal year 2022; 37 Pennsylvania counties have at least three. Records whose tract is not in a county we can match are counted in the state total only.

Loans and investments reported in other years: FY2018 1,412 · FY2019 960 · FY2020 1,435 · FY2021 14,490.

Only CDFIs that hold an active CDFI Fund award (CDFI Program, Native American CDFI Assistance or the CDFI Rapid Response Program) report these transactions, so this is not all lending by the certified CDFIs on this page. The Fund masks which CDFI made each loan, so we cannot say which lender listed here made them.
