Testimonials

I support CDFIs because they provide needed capital for small businesses and first-time homebuyers. This capital allows people to build wealth and/or provide a product/service to their community, which leads to economic prosperity for the local area. Because the financing is provided as a loan, clients are equally invested in the success of their home/business.

-Megan Fischer, GROW South Dakota, Sisseton, SD

CDFIs provide the flexible and essential financing for community development, affordable housing, small business and nonprofits that other lenders dont serve. They connect communities with capital.

The CDFI Fund has made it possible for our credit union to put funding in the hands of Iowans of modest means who absolutely need it most.
