Testimonials

CDFIs provide much-needed assistance to individuals and businesses in the state of South Dakota.

-Maureen Nelson, GROW South Dakota, Sisseton, SD

I support Community Development Financial Institutions (CDFIs) because they are essential in promoting equitable economic growth and community development. At GROW SD, we see how CDFIs empower underserved populations by providing tailored financial solutions that create housing stability and sustainable businesses. Their commitment to reinvesting in local economies aligns with our mission to enhance community well-being. By supporting CDFIs, we can help build stronger, more resilient communities where everyone has the opportunity to thrive.

-Kristin Hofland, GROW South Dakota, Sisseton, SD

Native CDFIs are important to fixing the housing crisis in Indian Country. They are a way for Tribes to attract capital that leave Tribal members in control.
