CDFI Fund Launches New E-Mail Subscription Service

March 14, 2008

Washington, DC -- The Community Development Financial Institutions (CDFI) Fund today announced the launch of CDFI Updates – a new, free e-mail subscription management service designed to keep the community development finance industry, the media and the public informed of news and important updates from the CDFI Fund.

CDFI Updates was designed to keep you informed of the news you are most interested in at the CDFI Fund. This new service enables you to receive e-mails related to the topics to which you have subscribed. Subscription items include a range of items from: new press releases and speeches by CDFI Fund officials; to updates or announcements regarding any of the CDFI Fund’s programs, such as the opening of a new program round or an update to a Frequently Ask Questions document; to the release of CDFI Fund publications like research reports on impact data collected from award recipients; or even current career opportunities for those interested in joining the CDFI Fund team!

CDFI Updates allows you, the user, to customize your updates. You not only can select the topics for which you would like to be kept informed on, but you can also select how often you would like to have your CDFI Updates sent – immediately, daily, weekly, or monthly – to your e-mail account. At any time, you can add or delete subscription items, add a password to your account, or unsubscribe.

CDFI Updates are sent on behalf of the CDFI Fund by the GovDelivery® E-Mail Subscription Management service which monitors designated CDFI Fund website content and sends an e-mail to alert subscribers when there is new information posted on the CDFI Fund’s public website. Subscribers will receive e-mails from “CDFI Fund, US Department of the Treasury” at the e-mail address: cdfifund@service.govdelivery.com.

To subscribe to CDFI Updates, please click on any CDFI Updates link in this e-mail or visit the CDFI Fund’s website at www.cdfifund.gov and click on the CDFI Updates icon in the left hand column of the homepage.
