Testimonials

CDFIs solve for capital access gaps that increase economic opportunities for people and communities who have been excluded from that opportunity.

-Micha Josephy, Cooperative Fund of the Northeast, Inc., Watertown, MA

The financial education offered by Native CDFIs has been making huge impacts within the community. I have been involved in the CDFI network for 8 years and am seeing the positive results. This is especially critical for the younger generations.

-Lisa Rivera, Chehalis Tribal Loan Fund, Lakewood, WA

CDFIs have been a vital role in our community by providing low-cost capital to businesses. Capital is not readily available in the rural area I live, so it’s imperative that CDFIs continue to receive funding that helps support small businesses and continue to grow small communities.

-Katie Rasmus, Grow SD, Sisseton, SD
