CDFI Fund: Change in Deadline for Annual Certification and Data Collection and Compliance Reports

The Community Development Financial Institutions Fund (CDFI Fund) is extending the deadline to submit Annual Certification and Data Collection Reports (ACRs) and compliance reports for organizations with an upcoming reporting deadline between March 28 and 31, 2021. The new deadline to submit these reports is April 30, 2021.

The ACR and compliance report submission deadline is being extended in order to provide CDFIs with additional time to apply for assistance opportunities currently open through the CDFI ProgramNative CDFI Assistance ProgramCDFI Rapid Response Program, as well as the Emergency Capital Investment Program.

All Certified CDFIs are required to submit ACRs on an annual basis. CDFIs must submit their ACRs, in the Awards Management Information System (AMIS), within 90 days of the end of their organization’s fiscal year. Those organizations newly certified during fiscal year 2021 are not required to submit the ACR until the 2022 reporting cycle.

The due dates to submit annual compliance report(s) vary by fiscal year end date and type of award, as well as by the specific terms within each organization’s individual Assistance and/or Allocation Agreement.

The due dates(s) for your organization’s required report(s) can be found in the Assistance and/or Allocation Agreement(s) for your award(s) and in the Report Schedule in AMIS. Please review your Assistance and/or Allocation Agreement(s) to verify if you are required to report at this time and for additional information about the annual compliance report requirements.
