Who We Are
DFC, established in 2019 with bipartisan support under President Trump, is America’s development finance institution. DFC partners with the private sector to advance U.S. foreign policy and strengthen national security by mobilizing private capital around the world. DFC invests across strategic sectors including critical minerals, modern infrastructure, and advanced technology — fostering economic development, supporting U.S. interests, and delivering returns to American taxpayers.
DFC partners with allies and the private sector on transformative investments that build infrastructure, strengthen global supply chains, and expand access to energy, technology, food, and financial services, while countering China’s influence around the world. All DFC investments adhere to high standards, respecting the environment, human rights, and worker rights.
In its first five years, DFC returned $555 million to American taxpayers.
