Testimonials

Fund program has been instrumental to Cooperative Federal’s work over the years, helping us reach more people and have a bigger impact on our local neighborhoods.

Renald Dupuis, Cooperative Federal Credit Union, Syracuse, NY

The CDFI Fund, and the organizations it serves, enable greater numbers of people to participate in the US economy in a positive way, creating jobs and businesses, while producing vital goods and services.

CDFIs fill a critical void in funding the development of affordable housing. They provide below market interest rates, have flexible terms, and can respond to critical funding needs with more flexibility than a traditional bank/credit union.

CDFIs work results in invaluable benefits to communities, including jobs, housing, tax revenue, and vitality.
