Testimonials

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

CDFIs have had strong bipartisan support at the federal level and I urge Congress to continue to support this important economic driver.

-Heather Robinson, CDFI Friendly Bloomington Board Member, Bloomington, IN

CDFIs support the needs of small businesses and consumers in rural, suburban, and urban areas across the United States. The designation is key to legitimizing and elevating our work with banks and other leveraged investors who align with our industry to bring affordable capital to markets that need catalytic investments to sustain and grow small businesses. These businesses create jobs, provide goods and services, and pay taxes that build strong communities. We need to preserve and grow the CDFI Fund for all Americans.

-Patricia Parchmon, St. Louis Community Credit Union, St. Louis, MO
