Testimonials

I run a consulting firm that supports CDFIs in their critical work to ensure access to credit and enhanced economic opportunity and job creation. The unique public-private partnership model of CDFIs warrants bipartisan support.

-Sharon Feuer Gruber, SFG Strategies, Silver Spring, MD

CDFIs drive economic mobility in a way that positively transforms communities in many ways. It’s relevant for folks with a business/economy-first mentality to know: CDFIs create small businesses, develop financially stable households, and increase low-come families’ spending power. These are metrics that are meaningful to people of all political views. Investing in the CDFI Fund pays dividends to the broader economy. This is not a politically divisive line item in the budget. Fund the CDFI Fund!

-Kit Fordham, Mni Sota Fund, Minneapolis, MN

This is greater than just the CDFI Fund. There are countless of small businesses that cannot get financial support in a traditional lending institution.

-Terese M. Caro, Legacy Redevelopment Corporation, Milwaukee, WI
