Why invest in CIF?

At CIF, we provide impactful investments that support churches and ministries nationwide. This support happens because as investments earn interest, they also fund construction, renovation, real estate and refinancing, and financing loans for churches and ministries. This means when you invest with CIF, ministry happens. Get started on your investment journey.
