Testimonials

CDFIs help community-focused organizations access capital for traditionally underserved communities.

-Matthew Cook, Matthew Cook Consulting, Columbus, OH

Our CDFI improves the quality of the communities we serve by creating quality jobs through the small business that we support.

-Julie Jurosic, Anchor Financial Services, Perrysburg, OH

CDFIs are an important part of our finance ecosystem. In 2024 alone, the Western Reserve Community Fund (WRCF) distributed over $5M in funding to over 100 small businesses/non-profits in Summit County. CDFI’s, like WRCF, make such a difference in our community.

-Shammas Malik, City of Akron, Akron, OH
