Testimonials

CDFIs were a critical component to our funding stacking. Allowing us to triple our occupancy and better meet our vision of a world where every family has what they need to ensure the best health outcomes for their children.

-Rita Cyr, RMHC Dayton, Dayton, OH

As a CDFI, we are able to provide loans and investments to borrowers for projects that improve the quality of life in our community’s low to moderate income census tracts. Frequently, these transactions are not supported by financial institutions directly under competitive terms and conditions that we as a CDFI can make.

-Dan Kane, Dayton Region New Market Fund, Kettering, OH

I have chaired our local board and our foundation is extremely supportive of the difference [CDFI Fund awards] have made in the Dayton community!

-Michael M Parks, The Dayton Foundation, Dayton, OH
