Testimonials

The work of CDFIs is critical to supporting credit in underserved communities.

Mark Kaufman, Neighborhood Impact Investment Fund, Baltimore, MD

I run a consulting firm that supports CDFIs in their critical work to ensure access to credit and enhanced economic opportunity and job creation. The unique public-private partnership model of CDFIs warrants bipartisan support.

Sharon Feuer Gruber, SFG Strategies, Silver Spring, MD

I have chaired our local board and our foundation is extremely supportive of the difference [CDFI Fund awards] have made in the Dayton community!

Michael M Parks, The Dayton Foundation, Dayton, OH

I am a Board Member of a Native American CDFI that serves Wabanaki Tribes and tribal members in Maine. It’s been quite concerning of the number of threats to our services by the Trump Administration. My hope is that these threats are no longer a hinderance to our daily services particularly the issue of federal funding freeze.
