Institution Level Report Data

July 20, 2010

Data Suppressed for All Organizations

To assure the privacy Community Development Financial Institutions (CDFIs), the Fund has designed a set of procedures to protect the privacy of these organizations while maintaining the integrity of these dataset. To that end, several steps are taken to protect the identity of these respondents. Our objective is to make available the widest array of this information without revealing the identities of CDFIs, CDEs, investors, or individual projects funded by CDFIs or CDEs.

The following data will be suppressed:

• Name, telephone number and email address of the Person Responsible for Completing the Survey.

• Responses to open-ended questions.

• Data collected solely to evaluate a CDFI Program awardees’ compliance with its assistance agreement.

• Data collected solely for internal Fund purposes.

• Summary financial ratios calculated by CIIS.

In addition, any data the Fund determines to be erroneous that cannot be replaced with a correct response obtained from the reporting entity shall be suppressed. Examples include typographical errors and responses that, in the Fund’s judgment, are grossly inconsistent with the majority of the CDFI’s data.

Below is a detailed description of which data fields in each section are provided and how, if applicable, they are masked. For a complete list of data definitions, see “FY 2009 CDFI Institution-Level Report Instructions for CIIS 7.0, September 10, 2009” and “FY 2009

Allocatee Institution Level Report Instructions, CIIS 7.0, September 10, 2009” posted on the Fund’s website at http://www.cdfifund.gov/what_we_do/ciis.asp.

1. Organizational Information

A. Basic Information

Four data points not submitted by the organization to CIIS are added to the data set: 1) Organization ID for Public Release. This unique identification number is not the same as the Fund’s internal Organization ID number and will remain constant each time the organization’s data is released so that the organization can be tracked over time. The Organization ID for Public Release cannot be used to identify the organization. 2) Report Year, indicating the fiscal year covered by the data; 3) Financial Institution Type (loan fund, bank, etc.); and 4) Organizational Structure (for profit, nonprofit, etc.).

The Date of Organization’s Fiscal Year End was suppressed.

Year of Organization’s Incorporation and Year Organization Began Financing Activities are provided, but are rounded to decade to mask identity.

B. Organizational Structure/Affiliation

All data are provided without modification except for Charter Number (Credit Union) or FDIC Certification Number (Bank or Thrift). These identification numbers are suppressed because they could be used to identify the organization.
