CDFIs and Credit Unions help people of modest means when other FI’s do not. We are the last bastion of hope in banking for the little guy.

Michelle Rosner, Alltru Credit Union, Wentzville, MO

CDFIs make a difference in people’s lives and in our communities. They encourage development and entrepreneurship that amplifies beyond the appropriations requested. Investing in the CDFI fund is an important investment that brings real, tangible results.

Alvaro Macias, GROWTH, Bettendorf, IA

The CDFI Fund has helped us positively impact low-income communities by improving their quality of life with access to low and fair loan financing.

Jose Anibal Otero, MUNICOOP, Guaynabo, PR

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.
