At Prestamos, we support CDFIs because they are a lifeline for underserved communities, providing access to capital and technical assistance where traditional financial institutions often fall short. CDFI funding enables us to offer flexible, culturally competent lending and support services that help small businesses grow, create jobs, and build generational wealth. Without CDFIs, too many communities would be left behind in our economic recovery and growth. We are proud to be part of the solution that bridges this equity gap.
