Testimonials

CDFIs make otherwise impossible projects possible.

-George Sutton, Bedrock Holdings LLC, Minneapolis, MN

CDFI funds are frequently the only source of funding and lending available to small, scaled community-oriented development in Minneapolis. Without access to those opportunities companies like mine would not be able to accomplish our development goals and create mid-scale projects related to the arts and market rate affordable housing.

-Colin Ryan Oglesbay, D/O Architects, Saint Paul, MN

We believe people are more than just a credit score. We believe Lending helps the Community and we do the lending that others will not.

-Donn Dischert, Alltru Credit Union, St Louis, MO
