Testimonials

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.

-Kristin Hofland, GROW South Dakota, Sisseton, SD

CDFI funding helps us support homeowners, contractors and others in the housing market. It fills gaps in markets such as ours that other funding simply cannot.

-Karen Schroeder, Home HeadQuarters, Inc., Syracuse, NY

We strongly support continued investment in CDFIs because they empower local economies, create pathways to homeownership and entrepreneurship, and help communities thrive. By ensuring the sustainability and growth of CDFIs, we can continue our mission to help members bank with dignity and build a stronger financial future for all.
