Proposed
Scope of Work: Phase II
CDFI Friendly South Bend
Background
Over the past nine (9) months, the City of South Bend with assistance from private and civic
partners has explored the possibility of making South Bend a CDFI Friendly Community on terms
and in ways that reflect the community's strengths, opportunities, and challenges. That worked
culminated in a public convening on June 4, 2019, with broad agreement to proceed to the next,
second phase. On Friday, June 21, 2019, the broad CDFI Working Group advising the effort
endorsed the plan to proceed.
Proposed Scope of Work
As detailed initially in September 2018, the next phase of work would comprise business planning
to fully articulate how the concept of CDFI Friendly South Bend would be implemented, including
but not limited to a deeper understanding of the level of market demand for various uses,
identification of the local, regional, and national CDFI partners likely to participate, sources and
uses of capital, structure and responsibilities of the enterprise, and strategies and tactics over a
three-year period. That planning would require rigorous research, planning and organizing with
community -based organizations, financial institutions working in or near the market, the City, local
philanthropic partners, business owners and operators, developers and entrepreneurs, and others.
Five/Four Advisors uses business planning both to formulate and to test the viability of the
business model at the heart of what would become CDFI Friendly South Bend. By detailing the
what, how, why, when, and who of the start-up effort, the business plan will give sufficient clarity
and granularity so that all prospective participants can make decisions that are likely to stand going
forward. For instance, the structure and governance of the CDFI Friendly entity needs to represent
an array of local interests or key players will shy away from the table. Prospective investors and
funders would should know the planned terms and conditions. And South Bend residents need to
be able to see clearly what is being done and how it will benefit them.
To those ends, Five/Four Advisors expects to commit 36-48 days of work from July 1, 2019-
December 31, 2019 to developing the business plan in a hands-on process through meetings with
stakeholders in South Bend, discussions with investors and funders in South Bend and elsewhere,
research, financial planning and modeling, writing, and presenting the business plan. The end
product will be a written implementable business plan for this startup organization.
The product of that work will be an effort, probably a nonprofit entity (likely a nonprofit, 501.c.3
under the U.S. tax code), that will be branded as CDFI Friendly South Bend. The business plan will
be ready for operationalization by December 31, 2019, so that the community can create the legal
entity, seat a founding Board of Directors, hire a key executive staff person, implement a financial
management and reporting system, and start doing business in January 2020. That business will
increase the flow of flexible and affordable financing from CDFIs and others in South Bend —and,
perhaps, in a broader region —to benefit low-income, low -wealth, and other economically
underserved people and communities.
The effort will be organized with the guidance and active engagement of the full array of South
Bend stakeholders —private and public, business and housing, local and regional, elected and
voluntary, financial and non -financial. As with most successful community -engaged activities, this
planning work will build on relationships developed since October 2018, as well as legacy
community development work that has been underway in South Bend for many decades.
The Five/Four Advisors Team
Five/Four Advisors will do this work through its CDFI Friendly America team. That team will be led
by Mark A. Pinsky, President of Five/Four Advisors, and by Adina Abramowitz, President of
Consulting for Change. Both have decades of experience and expertise working with and around
CDFIs and they will be the primary advisors to CDFI Friendly South Bend.
Five/Four Advisors may support Pinsky and Abramowitz with other subject experts, as needed.
Expenses
Necessary expenses for this work, including travel, lodging, and reasonable incidental expenditures,
will be billed for reimbursement in addition to per diem (or hourly) fees.
