Eric Shepherd, Sisseton Wahpeton Housing Authority, Sisseton, SD

I support Community Development Financial Institutions (CDFIs) because they are essential in promoting equitable economic growth and community development. At GROW SD, we see how CDFIs empower underserved populations by providing tailored financial solutions that create housing stability and sustainable businesses. Their commitment to reinvesting in local economies aligns with our mission to enhance community well-being. By supporting CDFIs, we can help build stronger, more resilient communities where everyone has the opportunity to thrive.

Kristin Hofland, GROW South Dakota, Sisseton, SD

CDFIs are valuable because of their interaction with communities and flexible products and services. They can do things midsize and large banks can’t do.

Leroy Abrahams, Regions Bank, Birmingham, AL

CDFIs provide critical support that empowers communities to thrive. These financial institutions provide capital that leverages expertise and best practices from the financial services and business sectors to put capital to work in communities across the nation.
