Abstract: A Material Event is defined as an occurrence that affects an organization’s strategic direction, mission, or business operation and, thereby, its compliance with the terms and conditions of its allocation or assistance agreement or their status as an entity certified by the CDFI Fund. The CDFI Fund requires this information to prevent fraud, waste, and abuse of Federal funds. The CDFI Fund implements programs that provide financial assistance in the form of grants, loans, and tax credits to increase the capacity of financial institutions to provide capital, credit, and financial services in underserved markets. Additionally, the CDFI Fund is responsible for confirming certification for Community Development Entities (CDEs) and Community Development Financial Institutions (CDFIs). Organizations that receive Federal financial assistance from the CDFI Fund are required to report Material Events in order to be in compliance with requirements of their award agreements. CDEs and CDFIs are required to report Material Events to maintain their certification status with the CDFI Fund.
