Testimonials

As a certified CDFI and SBA lender, our organization directly serves the communities and businesses this administration is working to support. We provide capital to small manufacturers, job-creating entrepreneurs, and individuals acquiring businesses from retiring owners-the so-called “silver tsunami.” Our work helps keep vital businesses operating and people employed. CDFIs are a proven and effective mechanism for delivering capital where it is needed most. With continued federal support, we stand ready to expand our impact and remain on the front lines of economic development in underserved communities across the country.

-Bryan Doxford, Grow America Fund, New Yoirk, NY

It is critical to the development of affordable housing. CDFIs work in areas other financial institutions are either unable to or unwilling to. CDFI loans really make an impact on effectively addressing the financial needs of low-income families.

-Lisa Rogers, CASA of Oregon, Sherwood, OR

The impact CDFI organizations make through their lending programs helps communities by providing financing that helps create or expand a small business, create or sustain jobs, and offers communities an expanded tax base.
