Testimonials

CDFIs help reduce poverty in our community.

-E. Scott Brown Jr, All Faiths Food Pantry, Syracuse, NY

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.

-Phil Black, Community Investment Fund of Indiana, Indianapolis, IN

As a CDFI, we support areas that have had historical underinvestment and see a transformative impact to those communities over time. The CDFI fund has an excellent private investment track record that accompanies the Treasury investment, leveraging the funds at an $8 or more for every $1 from the CDFI fund. This helps incentivize investment in these communities, bringing greater prosperity to all and putting all Americans to work that can access these programs.

-Todd Sharkey, Sunrise Banks, St Paul, MN
