The IDA field is supported by a variety of national, regional, and local organizations. These intermediaries serve the field in the areas of:

• policy (federal and state),
• research (policy and practice),
• support services (training, TA, financial education), and
• information sharing and exchange (convenings, published & online resources, and online dialogues).

CFED recently attempted to 'map' the provision of these services by some of the organizations serving the field in our Intermediary Mapping Table. Below are links to these -- and more -- intermediaries and support organizations.
