The Opportunity Funds Association (OFA) is proud to announce its official relaunch as the nation’s only not-for-profit trade association dedicated to supporting Opportunity Funds and their pivotal role in driving investment and revitalization in underserved communities.

As a member-driven association, OFA is committed to advocating for policies that strengthen the Opportunity Zone incentive while providing tools and resources to help funds succeed.
Led by Executive Director Ja’Ron Smith, a key architect of the original Opportunity Zone legislation, and managed by the experienced team at Global Association Partners, OFA is positioned to lead the next era of OZ policy and industry collaboration.
