CFI contributes to full inclusion by collaborating with sector participants to tackle challenges beyond the scope of any one actor, using tools that include research, convening, capacity building, and communications. www.centerforfinancialinclusion.org www.cfi-blog.org MetLife Foundation was created in 1976 to continue MetLife¹s long tradition of corporate contributions and community involvement.
