Our CDFI improves the quality of the communities we serve by creating quality jobs through the small business that we support.
We want ALL entrepreneurs to have access to capitol to support their businesses. Especially those that may be deemed unbankable.
CDFIs are an important part of our finance ecosystem. In 2024 alone, the Western Reserve Community Fund (WRCF) distributed over $5M in funding to over 100 small businesses/non-profits in Summit County. CDFI’s, like WRCF, make such a difference in our community.
CDFIs provide affordable capital to borrowers that may not be able to access credit from mainstream financial institutions. Unlike other non-bank options, CDFI loans are affordable and transparent. And CDFIs take a holistic approach, prioritizing the wellbeing of individual clients and the borrowers that live within them.
