Item 8.01. Other Events
On September 29, 2004, the Bancorp was notified that it will be receiving an award of $134,935 from the Community Development Financial Instructions (CDFI) Fund of the U.S. Treasury. The award funds may be received by December 31, 2004.
The award was made under the FY 2004 Technical Assistance (FA) component of the CDFI Program which provides assistance to CDFIs in the form of grants for purposes of capacity-building that includes consulting services, salary, technology and training.
The CDFI industry consists of variety of financial institutions that include loan funds (both business and housing), credit unions, insured depository institutions, venture capital firms, loan guarantors, CDFI intermediaries, and multi-bank CDCs. The CDFIs selected to receive funding provide an array of critical products and services designed to meet the financial service and credit needs of some of the nation’s most distressed urban and rural areas.
Under the current round, the CDFI Fund received applications from 134 financial institutions, and the CDFI Fund made a total of 80 awards, including the Bancorp, totaling approximately $3.574 million.
While the Bancorp as a certified CDFI expects to continue to apply for various grants and awards, there can be no assurance that it will receive similar future grants or awards.
