CDFIs are vital to the stability of this community!

Tracy L Verner, Alltru Federal Credit Union, St Louis, MO

CDFIs are a lifeline for many small business owners who cannot get traditional financing from large banks.

Ericka Powell Sinclair, Harlem Entrepreneurial Fund, LLC, New York, NY

I support Community Development Financial Institutions (CDFIs) because they are essential in promoting equitable economic growth and community development. At GROW SD, we see how CDFIs empower underserved populations by providing tailored financial solutions that create housing stability and sustainable businesses. Their commitment to reinvesting in local economies aligns with our mission to enhance community well-being. By supporting CDFIs, we can help build stronger, more resilient communities where everyone has the opportunity to thrive.
