The FDIC shall ensure that such regulations issued under this bill: (1) will not provide an opportunity for individuals or for-profit financial institutions to avoid taxation or other requirements related to deposit insurance, and (2) allow charitable contributions and grants to such banks.

The bill defines a "non-profit community development financial institution bank" as a non-profit depository institution that: (1) is certified as a community development financial institution by the Community Development Financial Institutions Fund, and (2) serves low-income and moderate-income customers.
