Testimonials

CDFIs are an important to give access to those who can’t get access to capital from traditional banks and provides important Technical assistance to borrowers pre and post loan as needed.

Lynn Cutler, WORC/EOF, Philadelphia, PA

We chose a mobile home because of the convenience and ease of one-floor living. The result of our move is that we now have a place that meets our physical and social needs as we age… Working with Capital for Change [CDFI] was quite the experience! What an excellent program that makes housing affordable to all!

Allen and Frank, Central Connecticut

We support CDFI lending.

Kimberly Stocks, Alltru Credit Union, Wentzville, MO

We are a CDFI focused on small business lending. We are giving people who deserve a shot at the American dream – but can’t get it because big banks don’t do small business loans or character loans anymore. Small businesses are important sources of jobs, income and innovation.
