Testimonials

We want ALL entrepreneurs to have access to capitol to support their businesses. Especially those that may be deemed unbankable.

-Renay Dossman, NDC, Saint Paul, MN

These funds are vital to increase the capacity to serve low to moderate income families and their purchase of safe, fit, and affordable housing.

-Rebecca Cartee, Columbus Housing Initiative, Inc., Columbus, GA

I am a real estate broker and development consultant working with emerging developers, small businesses and nonprofits. Many of my clients cannot finance their projects with traditional debt and equity because they don’t come from generational wealth and because their projects are more challenging because they are in markets that are not achieving their full potential yet or meeting critical community needs that don’t produce quite as much profit. CDFI lending has stepped in the gap to solve dozens of critical projects that just need a little boost to get to the finish line, and CDFIs are critical partners to Platform’s work.
