Last June, the Community Development Financial Institutions Fund (CDFI Fund) released the General Reapplication Submission Deadlines for the CDFI Certification Application for all Certified CDFIs. The first reapplication submission window, Window 1, closes on May 31, 2025. To avoid delays or loss of Certification, organizations must act now to prepare their submissions and resolve outstanding issues.
Cut-off for Service Requests and Help Desk Questions
The CDFI Fund has been receiving a heavy volume of inquiries from CDFI Certification Applicants. In order to ensure a timely response to questions from Window 1 Applicants before the May 31 deadline, the CDFI Fund is implementing a cut-off for CDFI Certification Application-related Service Requests and Help Desk questions. The CDFI Fund will answer questions from Window 1 Applicants about the CDFI Certification Application submitted before 11:59 p.m. ET on May 16, 2025. After that time, Application questions from Window 1 Applicants received via Help Desk calls, Help Desk e-mails, and Service Requests will not be answered.
Technical support for AMIS will still be available for Window 1 Applicants until 5:00 p.m. ET on May 31, 2025.
