CDSF increases an understanding of money and finance through education and research. Our work advances an understanding of

  • How our economy works
  • Money and banking and how they work together
  • How investing works (what investors need to know)
  • How borrowing works (what borrowers need to know)
  • Credit ratings (what they are and why we should understand them)
  • Social finance

    In developing a social investing loan fund ... I've gone to CDSF to understand the landscape, structures and processes of the financial world.
