Testimonials

CDFIs help make our world a better place.

Jeffry R. Brown, , Edina, MN

The impact that CDFI credit unions can make in lower income areas by providing financial tools for the community raises the financial independence of individuals in that area and then lessens the amount of ongoing aid that needs to be provided by the government directly to those communities.

Dave Franke, Alltru Credit Union, Wentzville, MO

CDFIs bridge an important gap in capital between fully bankable and not yet bankable deals reaching out to Socially and Economically Disadvantaged Individual business owners to grow our economy.

James A Reiff, Nebraska Enterprise Fund, Omaha, NE

We chose a mobile home because of the convenience and ease of one-floor living. The result of our move is that we now have a place that meets our physical and social needs as we age… Working with Capital for Change [CDFI] was quite the experience! What an excellent program that makes housing affordable to all!

Allen and Frank, Central Connecticut
