Testimonials

CDFIs have been a vital role in our community by providing low-cost capital to businesses. Capital is not readily available in the rural area I live, so it’s imperative that CDFIs continue to receive funding that helps support small businesses and continue to grow small communities.

-Katie Rasmus, Grow SD, Sisseton, SD

CDFI funds play a crucial role in supporting small businesses and individuals aspiring to become homeowners throughout South Dakota. These funds provide much-needed financial resources to communities, offering opportunities for growth and stability where traditional financial institutions may not reach. By supporting small businesses, CDFI funds foster economic development and job creation, helping to strengthen local economies. Additionally, they enable homebuyers to achieve their dreams of homeownership, promoting long-term community stability and wealth-building. Without the critical assistance from CDFI funds, many entrepreneurs and potential homeowners in South Dakota would face significant barriers to success.
