The basic premise of CFI is that every individual any where has something of great value to give or pass on to the less fortunate. Many can donate capital to help us fund businesses; others would rather contribute their knowledge, skills and experience in order to have a meaningful and positive impact on society.

The Coalition for Financial Independence, Inc. is a Delaware Non-Profit. Our mission is to reduce the devastating effects of poverty by building bridges between people with financial, intellectual and other essential resources and those with needs. This would result in the creation of locally-based businesses that provide sustainable employment, ultimate ownership and other benefits for forgotten communities.

In order to achieve this we have developed a network of local and international partners composed of organizations and individuals that have actively contributed in designing Community Based Businesses (CBB) that are profitable and have a sound and positive impact on their most important stakeholders: the communities themselves. These people now consist of a community of individuals that is brought together around the unifying cause of developing forgotten Communities.

Our CBB programs are created in such a way that they can provide a sustainable source of income for the communities and also helps them finance other essential community infrastructure such as schools and health centers. Our programs' quality is ensured by the oversight and mentoring of CFI's Board of Directors.
