CDFIs make otherwise impossible projects possible.

George Sutton, Bedrock Holdings LLC, Minneapolis, MN

CDFIs provide an important unique opportunity support communities by creating opportunities for underbanked companies and individuals to pull themselves up by their bootstrap by creating new businesses, housing and strengthening financial composites

Kevin FItzgerald, OppFund, East Lansing, MI

I cannot state strongly enough how important CDFIs have been to my community and to the country as a whole. They rely in part — as they should — on federal financial support. Please release funds for use by the many CDFIs in the USA.

Maggie Cohn, Back of the Hill CDC, Roxbury Crossing, MA

It is critically important that the United States Department of the Treasury continues to support the work of CDFIS throughout our great nation.
