Testimonials

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.

-Marcia Erickson, GROW South Dakota, Sisseton, SD

I support CDFIs because they provide needed capital for small businesses and first-time homebuyers. This capital allows people to build wealth and/or provide a product/service to their community, which leads to economic prosperity for the local area. Because the financing is provided as a loan, clients are equally invested in the success of their home/business.
