The financial education offered by Native CDFIs has been making huge impacts within the community. I have been involved in the CDFI network for 8 years and am seeing the positive results. This is especially critical for the younger generations.
The work that CDFIs do helps us all realize the American Dream. They stimulate the economy, locally and nationally, and give credence to the idea of picking oneself up by one’s bootstraps to make a better tomorrow for their community.
