Testimonials

CDFIs are a lifeline for many small business owners who cannot get traditional financing from large banks.

-Ericka Powell Sinclair, Harlem Entrepreneurial Fund, LLC, New York, NY

CDFIs are critical to driving real estate development in underserved communities and during challenging economic times. We have developed more than $100 M in projects using CDFI financing and it is a critical component to the capital stack, as well as important for delivering transformative projects to communities across the country.

-JoAnna Hicks, Element Commercial Real Estate, Minneapolis, MN

CDFIs provide access to capital for individuals who more traditional financial institutions would otherwise deny. The capital provided allows them to sustain or scale their business.
