Testimonials

I’ve been a member of a CDFI for 25 yrs and would never go back to a traditional bank, due to the good works that I’ve seen done by CDFI’s. I was also a board member for a few years at one, so I know the inner workings and understand the community missions they take on. My children and I have had a stable home for the past 18 years, partly due to the credit building assistance we received from a CDFI.

CDFIs help reduce poverty in our community.

-E. Scott Brown Jr, All Faiths Food Pantry, Syracuse, NY

CDFIs provide extraordinary support to many people who otherwise would not be able to access ordinary banking and credit opportunities. They are frequently located in banking deserts”
