Enterprise Financial CDE

Enterprise Financial CDE (EFCDE) is a Community Development Entity and an affiliate of Enterprise Bank & Trust. EFCDE competes for New Markets Tax Credit (NMTC) allocation authority through a competitive application process to bring subsidized capital to low-income communities across the Midwest and Southwest, including Illinois, Missouri, Kansas, Arizona, New Mexico, Nevada, California and Texas.

Our mission to reverse disinvestment in distressed communities stems from our community development framework of the Social Determinants of Health — addressing the conditions and communities in which people grow, work, live and age. Inclusive of economic, health and social factors, our investments stimulate job growth that improves financial empowerment for residents of low-income communities and improve access to health and essential social and community services that close disparity gaps and enhance long-term outcomes for underserved populations.
