Testimonials

CDFIs help people with the big repairs, supporting jobs, and financing vehicles to get to work and shopping. These are all good for the economy as well for those individual families.

Heather Engelman, Cooperative Federal, Syracuse, NY

CDFIs are crucial to affordable housing.

Braden Wiener, Opportunity Resource Fund, Grand Rapids, MI

We are a CDFI focused on small business lending. We are giving people who deserve a shot at the American dream – but can’t get it because big banks don’t do small business loans or character loans anymore. Small businesses are important sources of jobs, income and innovation.

Mark Masterson, Neighborhood Community Development Fund, Pittsburgh, PA

As a CDFI Lender, we are able to help small businesses, and underserved areas survive. Without this help, many of these businesses would not be able to continue to exist.

Brian Stoliker, Acadia Federal Credit Union, Fort Kent, ME
