Testimonials

CDFIs have been critical to successfully completing community and economic development projects in distressed and under-resourced communities like Youngstown and Warren, Ohio.

Sarah Lown, Western Reserve Port Authority, Youngstown, OH

CDFIs do vital work to support individuals and small businesses in our communities. Please make sure this funding continues!

Kimberley McCoy, Cooperative Federal, Syracuse, NY

CDFIs are the oil in the engine of our economy. They support small businesses with patient flexible capital, when they need it the most; when they are starting out. Without support for these institutions, small businesses will be blocked by high fees, high interest rates, demand payments, and other predatory behavior that impedes and tanks their efforts to grow the US economy.

Rebecca Davidson-Wagner, Invest PGH Inc., Pittsburgh, PA

CDFIs help make our world a better place.
