We’re excited to invite you to participate in the 2025 CDBA Storytelling Booth, taking place during the CDBA Peer Forum on June 3–5, 2025. This booth is a dedicated space to spotlight the powerful work CDFIs like yours are doing to advance inclusive economic growth and empower underserved communities. It’s your opportunity to share your impact—and inspire others. Shooting dates will be on June 4th and 5th.

Sign up by emailing or talking to Becca Hoeft, becca@morrishoeft.com.

What We’re Looking For:

We invite you to share a one brief, powerful story (1–2 minutes when spoken) that demonstrates the real-world impact of your work. Whether it’s economic revitalization, access to credit, or small business growth, your story should follow this structure: Challenge → Solution → Outcome
Your story should:
  • Be a new or recently completed project (within the last 12–18 months).
  • Not have been previously shared in other CDBA channels.
  • Reflect CDFI values: Creating economic opportunity and ensuring access to capital and financial services where traditional options are limited.
  • Include written consent from all individuals named or pictured in the story (or be able to obtain written consent by the date of shooting)
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Sarah Wen, wens@pcgloanfund.org and Becca Hoeft, becca@morrishoeft.com.
