TD Bank recently featured the PA CDFI Network’s Drive Your Business program in a new video spotlighting how Community Development Financial Institutions (CDFIs) help entrepreneurs overcome barriers to growth that traditional systems often overlook.
Launched with support from TD through the TD Ready Challenge, Drive Your Business pairs flexible capital with hands-on technical assistance—recognizing that long-term business success depends on both access to funding and the tools to use it effectively.
In the feature, two small businesses—Rocky Philly Souvenirs (Philadelphia) and Brü Daddy’s Brewing Company (Allentown)—share how working with CDFIs helped them navigate credit challenges, strengthen operations, and move toward sustainable growth.
Drive Your Business is delivered in partnership with five CDFIs operating in the Philadelphia and Lehigh Valley regions:
TD’s support of CDFIs is part of its broader Community Impact Plan, which focuses on expanding lending, philanthropy, and access to banking services in underserved communities.
We are grateful for TD’s continued partnership and recognition of the CDFI ecosystem as a trusted vehicle for community-based economic development.
