Testimonials

As the Chair of the CDFI Coalition Board of Directors, I and the membership of the Coalition would greatly appreciate your support of this request.

Hank Helton, CDFI Coalition, Nashviile, TN

I have watched how CDFIs support small business owners and home owners where banks and credit unions could not. The amount banks charge is often above what people can pay, CDFIs that are nonprofits even the playing field for them by investing in the people and not company profits.

Romy Fitschen, 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

Our organization works in tandem with CDFI partners and members for the betterment of communities, business arena and society.
