About the company

Ripple Effect Entrepreneurs Fund Inc., doing business as Reef, is a non-profit, tax-exempt corporate entity registered in SAM.gov that specializes in community development financial services. As a certified Community Development Financial Institution (CDFI), Reef focuses on providing financial support, investments, and technical assistance to underserved communities, with a particular emphasis on Native American and minority-owned businesses. The organization is dedicated to economic revitalization, job creation, and fostering economic self-determination in low- and moderate-income communities across the United States.

Reef has secured multiple significant federal grant awards from the U.S. Department of the Treasury's Community Development Financial Institutions Fund (CDFI Fund), including three notable project grants. The first grant, awarded in June 2021 for $683,000, was part of the CDFI Rapid Response Program (CDFI RRP) to address economic impacts of the coronavirus pandemic. A subsequent $500,000 grant in April 2023 came through the Equitable Recovery Program (CDFI ERP), enabling Reef to expand lending and grant-making activities in communities disproportionately impacted by COVID-19. Most recently, in September 2024, Reef received a $550,000 grant under the standard CDFI Program, focused on investing in and building the capacity of certified and emerging CDFIs, with a specific focus on Native American communities. These grants demonstrate Reef's core mission of providing loans, investments, financial services, and technical assistance to underserved populations, helping businesses grow, create jobs, and achieve economic sustainability through targeted financial interventions.
