Testimonials

As a founding board member (1982) and original board member of this community development credit union, I urge you to continue funding CDFIs that have a vital role in our community with its current housing crisis.

-Michael Messina-Yauchzy, Syracuse Cooperative Federal CU, Syracuse, NY

CDFIs are needed throughout the country to help people make their dreams come true by becoming a homeowner.

-Colleen Steele, Mazaska Owecaso Otipi Financial Inc., Pine, SD

CDFIs drive local economic growth by financing small businesses, creating jobs, and expanding affordable housing. They support rural and tribal communities, fund critical services like childcare and health clinics, and have invested $298 billion in underserved areas since 2010.
