Testimonials

CDFIs, as mission-driven financial institutions are at the forefront in providing access to capital to underserved borrowers.

Marsha Diane Krassner, MDK Consulting Group, San Antonio, TX

The CDFI industry has grown thanks to broad bipartisan support over the last 25 years. We’re counting on Congress to keep this essential economic development engine moving forward.

Meagan Weatherby, Cooperative Federal, Syracuse, NY

CDFIs provide opportunity for those who would otherwise not have access.

Gary M. Agnew, Cooperative Federal, Syracuse, NY

CDFIs provide access to capital for individuals who more traditional financial institutions would otherwise deny. The capital provided allows them to sustain or scale their business.
