Testimonials

We support CDFI lending.

Kimberly Stocks, Alltru Credit Union, Wentzville, MO

CDFIs are crucial to affordable housing.

Braden Wiener, Opportunity Resource Fund, Grand Rapids, MI

As an emerging CDFI serving the state of MN with small dollar consumer lending, this funding is essential to us to help combat predatory lending that strips wealth from low-income communities and allows us to provide stabilizing capital to communities to stay housed, employed, and (re)build credit to reach their asset building goals (e.g. car and home ownership) for the future.

Anne Leland, Exodus Financial Services (dba Exodus Lending), Saint Paul, MN

CDFIs work results in invaluable benefits to communities, including jobs, housing, tax revenue, and vitality.
