Testimonials

Invaluable support to people in our neighborhoods who want to build financial security–also to actually finance rehabbing vacant buildings and building new houses on vacant lots in our low/moderate income area.

-Phil Prehn, Syracuse United Neighbors (SUN), Syracuse, NY

CDFI funds are frequently the only source of funding and lending available to small, scaled community-oriented development in Minneapolis. Without access to those opportunities companies like mine would not be able to accomplish our development goals and create mid-scale projects related to the arts and market rate affordable housing.

-Colin Ryan Oglesbay, D/O Architects, Saint Paul, MN

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.
