Testimonials

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

CDFIs assist businesses and individuals that often cannot access bank capital. Especially in rural SD access to capital is difficult and the # of small banks have been reduced.

Lori Finnesand, GROW SD, Sisseton, SD

When traditional financing felt out of reach, Access CDFI offered more than a loan. We provided the support, encouragement, and confidence to help bring her vision to life.

Owner, Ego Tripp Salon, Las Vegas, NV

CDFIs fill a real need for underserved and impoverished communities. The need for affordable housing is making living difficult for most Americans. CDFIs responsibly use federal and private funds. In NH, CDFIs are serving both construction and immediate home placement needs.
