Testimonials

The CDFI industry has grown thanks to broad bipartisan support over the last 25 years. We’re counting on Congress to keep this essential economic development engine moving forward.

-Meagan Weatherby, Cooperative Federal, Syracuse, NY

CDFIs provide the flexible and essential financing for community development, affordable housing, small business and nonprofits that other lenders dont serve. They connect communities with capital.

-Carla Weil, Capital for Change, Wallingford, CT

The shift in business models among banks and credit unions—along with ongoing consolidation and the retreat from rural markets—has left a growing number of entrepreneurs without access to traditional financing. In response, MoFi and other CDFIs have become critical entry points for future bank customers.
