IBF Logo
In combining pieces of these three symbols, IBF’s logo reflects its mission to create positive change by bringing financial expertise to the improvement of housing and communities. We are creating a legacy of “Housing and Communities IMPROVED BY FINANCE (IBF)”.
Improve and Adapt
This is the Adinkra symbol called “Twistings.” It represents adapting, improving, changing, resilience and the ability to use these qualities to withstand hardship. Adinkra are a philosophical language of visual symbols with multilayered meanings used by the Akan people of Ghana, West Africa.
financing
The America dollar sign represents financial capital and resources. Financing is a central tool used to create change in housing and communities. The withdrawal of capital and the challenge of attracting new capital to neighborhoods has resulted in substandard conditions and a lack of opportunities for people in many areas.
Expertise and Wisdom
This Adinkra symbol is known as “The Wisdom Knot”. This symbol represents wisdom, ingenuity, and intelligence. The Akan believe that a wise person has the ability to choose the best way to achieve a goal and the capacity to apply their knowledge to solving practical problems and attaining meaningful results.
