Helping to Enhance the Sustainability of the Nation's Electric Cooperatives


CFC is a values-based, financial services cooperative that enables our electric cooperative members to deliver affordable and dependable electricity throughout more than half of the United States’ land mass, including the bulk of the nation’s rural communities. We provide them with the capital, industry expertise and consultative services they need to succeed in a dynamic environment, while strengthening the sustainability of their operations—an imperative that includes the adoption of renewable energy and, more recently, the deployment of broadband services.

CFC and the members we serve are engaged in sustaining our environment across multiple fronts—from the LEED Gold-certified building and 42-acre ecofriendly campus that serves as CFC’s headquarters to the many renewable energy projects we’ve helped finance for the electric cooperative network. The fact that so many of our members rely on CFC to finance renewable energy and broadband initiatives speaks to their commitment to the communities they serve.


“CFC and our member cooperatives are focused on providing essential services to rural Americans, including many underserved communities, which is a core principle of our business model. We are pleased to issue a second bond that will support the electric cooperative network and the communities it serves.”

Andrew Don, CEO
