Testimonials

True core CDFIs are the leaders and support mechanisms in rural communities. They are the local trusted partners that positively impact individuals, companies and communities to build equity and hope into areas that are difficult to develop.

-Lori Moen, GROW SD, Sisseton, SD

Funding through the CDFI fund is essential to our home ownership, home ownership preservation and multifamily housing development programs. CDFI funding provides flexible, low-cost funds that fill the financing gaps in projects that provide affordable, safe, and healthy housing to our clients.

-Brent Ekstrom, CommunityWorks North Dakota, Mandan, ND

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.
