Testimonials

As a consulting firm working closely with CDFIs and economic development partners across the country, SBC Small Business Consulting supports [CDFI Fund appropriations]. The clarity and continuity of these federal programs are critical for ensuring small businesses in underserved communities receive the technical assistance and capital they need to grow. We appreciate the Treasury’s commitment to supporting CDFIs and encourage swift action to maintain momentum in local economic development efforts.

Kyle mason, SBC Consulting, Columbus, OH

CDFIs are very good stewards of federal dollars, both in terms of leveraging other resources and by making loans and investments with great repayment history.

Suzanne Anarde-Devenport, Rural Community Assistance Corporation (RCAC), West Sacramento, CA

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.

Nadia Doubiany, Friedman Associates, Iowa City, IA

The CDFI Fund has helped us positively impact low-income communities by improving their quality of life with access to low and fair loan financing.
