Our Native communities are very close knit and culturally dependent upon the community to hold those sacred ways in place. Our communities need the CDFIs as they better understand and serve the community members in a way that is critical to the success of home ownership, small business support and primarily teaching the outside world’s credit system and how it affects each member. We strive to strengthen the financial wellbeing of our communities where government and the outside world falls short.

Becky Albert-Breed, First Nations Community Financial, Black River Falls, WI

I run a consulting firm that supports CDFIs in their critical work to ensure access to credit and enhanced economic opportunity and job creation. The unique public-private partnership model of CDFIs warrants bipartisan support.

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