CDFI Fund Grant Writing | CU Strategic Planning

Put FY 2027 FA funding to work for your members.

An FA award can give your credit union additional capital to expand affordable lending and reach more members in underserved communities. But don't miss your chance to build a strong application; our FY 2027 FA work is already underway.

Build a Stronger Application

A strong application takes months to develop. We help your team identify the community need your credit union is best positioned to address, then build a business plan supported by data and financial projections.

We accept a limited number of new FA clients each cycle. Credit unions planning to apply for FY 2027 funding should begin working with our team now.

Get Better Results

In the recently-announced FY 2025 round, CU Strategic Planning wrote the applications for the majority of winning FA awards made to credit unions. Not only that, but our clients’ awards averaged nearly $85,000 higher than those received by other credit unions, giving them more funding to put toward their members and communities.

We've worked with CDFI credit unions for nearly 20 years, helping over 200 become certified and earning over $1 billion in awards for our clients.
