Testimonials

CDFIs provide access to capital for individuals who more traditional financial institutions would otherwise deny. The capital provided allows them to sustain or scale their business.

-Christopher Capel, Aspire Community Capital, Charlotte, NC

CDFIs are essential for the economic vitality of rural communities like the ones we serve in Western North Carolina. The CDFI Fund represents an extremely effective and high-return investment.

-Matthew Raker, Mountain BizWorks, Asheville, NC

CDFIs provide affordable capital to borrowers that may not be able to access credit from mainstream financial institutions. Unlike other non-bank options, CDFI loans are affordable and transparent. And CDFIs take a holistic approach, prioritizing the wellbeing of individual clients and the borrowers that live within them.
