Re:  The Community Development Fund: Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to
     Registration Statement on Form N-1A (File Nos. 333-206012 and 811-23080)
     ---------------------------------------------------------------------------


Ladies and Gentlemen:

Pursuant to Rule 477(a) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
"Securities Act"), The Community Development Fund (the "Trust") respectfully
requests that the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") consent to the
withdrawal of Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to the Trust's Registration
Statement on Form N-1A, filed with the SEC via EDGAR (Accession No.
0001135428-16-001037) on February 11, 2016 ("Post-Effective Amendment No. 1").
The Trust is requesting the withdrawal, and believes such withdrawal is
consistent with the public interest and the protection of investors, because
Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 contained a filing error of a technical nature.
Specifically, Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 was mistakenly coded as EDGAR form
type "N-1A/A." We subsequently intend to file Post-Effective Amendment No. 1
pursuant to Rule 485(b) under the Securities Act and Investment Company Act of
1940, as amended, with the SEC via EDGAR to disclose risk/return summary
information for the Trust in interactive data format as an exhibit to the
Trust's Registration Statement on Form N-1A.

Pursuant to the requirements of Rule 478 under the Securities Act, this
application for withdrawal of Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 has been signed by
the Director, President, Chief Executive Officer and Secretary of the Trust this
12th day of February, 2016.

If you have any questions regarding the enclosed, please do not hesitate to
contact the undersigned at (305) 663-0100.

Very truly yours,

THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT FUND
