Testimonials

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.

Susan Hamilton, Syracuse Cooperative Federal Credit Union, Syracuse, NY

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.

Greg Hanshaw, Community 1st Credit Union, Ottumwa, IA

[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.

Allison Kelly, ICA Fund, Oakland, CA

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.
