Testimonials

CDFIs are filling the deep credit gap encountered in many communities providing financing to small businesses, affordable housing, and community facilities, creating jobs and business opportunities and promoting revitalization.

-Mark Wilson, Coalition for Responsible Community Development, Los Angeles, CA

Our organization works in tandem with CDFI partners and members for the betterment of communities, business arena and society.

-Dr. John E. Harmon Sr., African American Chamber of Commerce of NJ, Trenton, NJ

CDFIs drive economic mobility in a way that positively transforms communities in many ways. It’s relevant for folks with a business/economy-first mentality to know: CDFIs create small businesses, develop financially stable households, and increase low-come families’ spending power. These are metrics that are meaningful to people of all political views. Investing in the CDFI Fund pays dividends to the broader economy. This is not a politically divisive line item in the budget. Fund the CDFI Fund!
