Testimonials

CDFIs have assisted lower income people as they begin to work towards achieving the American Dream

-Jane Slabowski, member: Cooperative Federal credit Union, Syracuse, NY

CDFIs do vital work to support individuals and small businesses in our communities. Please make sure this funding continues!

-Kimberley McCoy, Cooperative Federal, Syracuse, NY

Our CDFI is housed in a non-profit dedicated to cultivating entrepreneurial leadership within underserved communities to increase their economic mobility. CDFIs are crucial to this work and bridging the gap to help entrepreneurs access funding before being able to approach a traditional lender for a myriad of reasons such as lack of credit history, being underbanked or never banking, lacking access to financial literacy resources and education around borrowing process. Being able to combine training resources with microlending support enables our org to further serve these populations in a way that best meets their needs and creates economic growth and jobs within our local communities.
