CDFIs are critical to our economy. They step in where banks can’t – or wont – go. They leverage hundreds of millions of private dollars every year and invest them in underserved businesses and communities, based on need and impact. This is an effective, efficient public-private solution to pressing social and economic issues throughout our country.

Phebe Quattrucci, Quattrucci & Company, South Freeport, ME

As the Chair of the Board I see the positive impacts of our lending and business advising daily. Our work is integral to the health and vibrancy of our local community. Our support of emerging entrepreneurs and small businesses looking to grow fills an existing gap in the private sector and provides accessible options for many businesses.

Gunnar Carlson, MN Consortium of Community Developers, Minneapolis, MN

CDFIs are valuable because of their interaction with communities and flexible products and services. They can do things midsize and large banks can’t do.
