Testimonials

We have a critical community project that we are planning to build this year using CDFI funds. It will create new jobs and help small business owners.

-Dana Nelson, Tubman, Minneapolis, MN

Bridge and other CDFIs support business creation and expansion as well as the construction and redevelopment of housing in low to moderate income neighborhoods. These are activities not offered or delivered by other financial institutions to extent provided by CDFI’s.

-Dirk J Meminger, Bridge Investment Community Development Corp, Rock Island, IL

CDFIs provide a critical service to low-income entrepreneurs who are generally excluded from traditional financing to receive business training services and access to affordable capital to help them start their own microenterprises and thus improve their family’s and community’s economic stability.
