The Fund implements the Bank Enterprise Award (BEA) Program that provides incentives to insured depository institutions to increase their support of CDFIs and their activities in economically distressed communities. Beginning in the FY 2009 funding round, the CDFI Fund will require that BEA awards be used for future CDFI support and community development activities as defined under the BEA Program regulations. An applicant receiving an award over $50,000 will be subject to new compliance and reporting requirements as part of the terms and conditions of the BEA Program Award Agreement.
