Strategic plan

MnCIFA’s Strategic Plan is intended for audiences internal to the organization, a guide for staff and the board.  

For more about MnCIFA’s intentions in engaging our external partners, see our Investment Strategy. 

The strategic plan serves as guidance for the staff and board by defining the lending activities that will be undertaken over a two-year period. MnCIFA is required to submit a strategic plan to the Minnesota Legislature by December 15 on every even numbered year. Numerous components of MnCIFA's Strategic Plan are required by state law (Minn.Stat. 216C.441), including: 

  • Identifying underserved markets, as defined in our statute, and programs to serve those markets;
  • Annual targets or goals for lending levels and outcomes for each of those programs;
  • Outreach and marketing strategies to advance those programs;  
  • Projects that are required to meet MnCIFA statutory definitions of a Qualified Project, as well as due diligence requirements of MnCIFA as a finance authority.

Strategic Plan 2026 Update:  

The current MnCIFA Strategic Plan is in progress and is set to be published prior to December 2026. This plan will have substantial updates from the initial strategic plan developed by MnCIFA staff and Board members in 2024. The updated plan adapts to the significant changes in federal law and federal funding that have occurred since January 2025.
