CDFIs have been a vital role in our community by providing low-cost capital to businesses. Capital is not readily available in the rural area I live, so it’s imperative that CDFIs continue to receive funding that helps support small businesses and continue to grow small communities.
The CDFI funds are critical to supporting entrepreneurs start up new small businesses which are the backbone of our economy. Without this funding, new jobs cannot be created and local tax bases will not grow. Please support small businesses!
CDFIs are a lifeline for many small business owners who cannot get traditional financing from large banks.
