In early 2018 Aeris, an independent company that rates CDFIs, awarded DOF three stars for its “Impact Rating,” which measures the social
impact of a CDFI’s program activity, and an A+ for its “Financial Rating,” which assesses an organization’s capitalization, asset quality, management, earnings and liquidity. Aeris also awarded DOF its “Policy Plus” designation, saying:
“The organization has a demonstrable track record of leadership and collaboration resulting in policy successes.”
