CDFA Excellence in Development Finance Awards
The CDFA Excellence in Development Finance Awards recognize outstanding development finance programs, agencies, leaders, projects and success stories. These awards, presented to award winners annually at the CDFA National Development Finance Summit, honor excellence in the use of financing tools for economic development, as well as the individuals who champion these efforts. Organizations may nominate themselves and/or their projects for one or more of these categories. Individuals may also nominate themselves or be nominated by their peers and colleagues.
The CDFA Excellence in Development Finance Awards cover a wide variety of financing tools and provide for both the public and private sector to be honored. Creative and innovative entries are highly welcomed, and the private sector is strongly encouraged to collaborate with their public sector partners on submissions. These awards honor excellence, leadership and the creative use of development finance tools such as bonds, TIF, tax credits and access to capital. The awards also honor the cutting edge use of development finance tools to support innovation and energy development. These awards honor individuals and agencies alike to build a distinguished and recognized development finance industry.
