Description
CDF is here to help you put your faith into action. We do this by funding and supporting Catholic organisations to continue the work the Gospel calls on us to do.
For over 60 years now, CDF has been supporting communities and continually improving an approach that allows us to provide a unique level of support across our footprint of schools, parishes and more recently healthcare and social service providers. Every time, balancing margin and mission for the greater good.
SUPPORTING GOOD WORK
The primary role of CDF is to support the work of Catholic organisations. While this work is increasingly complex and the demand for services grows, our customers’ needs can’t always be met by the traditional banking sector. However, our values-based approach to lending, backed by our rigour and professionalism as a financial organisation, allows us to provide support from within the Church. In this way, we give Catholic organisations every possible chance to put their faith into action.
To this end, our lending is based on a unique set of criteria when compared to other financial organisations:
- We are guided by Catholic Social Teachings that provide a set of principles for building a society based on love, respect and human dignity.
- We are committed to the common-good, and the fact that we are a Development Fund and not a bank, means we have the freedom to support our customers who otherwise may not be eligible for support from the traditional banking sector. In over 60 years of work devoted to the common-good, CDF has never registered a bad debt.
- Funding from within means Catholic endeavours and enterprises can be relatively self-sufficient, rather than relying on a banking system exposed to unpredictable and volatile market influences.
Put simply, we are here to support the common good and those charged with doing good in our communities.
