Testimonials

The work we do in underbanked and underserved Rural Appalachia is important to bring our constituents forward.

James Caudill, Redbud Financial Alternatives, Inc., Hazard, KY

CDFI funding to nonprofits for construction returns more money into the community through economic activity. It’s very important we keep providing this capital in Indiana.

Donna Sink, IFF, Indianapolis, IN

We strongly support continued investment in CDFIs because they empower local economies, create pathways to homeownership and entrepreneurship, and help communities thrive. By ensuring the sustainability and growth of CDFIs, we can continue our mission to help members bank with dignity and build a stronger financial future for all.

Dawn Lamb, Commodore Perry Federal Credit Union, Oak Harbor, OH

CDFIs are most proximate to communities needs and provide responsible, flexible capital solutions that support new business starts, job creation / retention, financial acumen building and skills development, and delivery of critical goods and services to opportunity rich communities.
