In Syracuse’s depressed economy, CDFIs have been a lifeline for aiding some of the most financially challenged residents and businesses. My credit union has leveraged CDFI funds to lift many households out of poverty, and we need this to continue.
Thank you to our partners at Inclusive and CDBA for sharing data on CDFI Bank and CDFI Credit Union branch locations. In addition, about 100 of our CDFI Stories come from OFN’s story database.

The CDFI Fund has made it possible for our credit union to put funding in the hands of Iowans of modest means who absolutely need it most.
[The CDFI Fund is an] incredibly important economic development agent that helps all small businesses across the country to grow, create jobs, become bankable and strengthen our economy.
I have consistently heard positive news and success stories about CDFIs in Idaho and across the country, and their responsiveness to the small business community.
