Testimonials

We are a nonprofit Chamber of Commerce that does microlending for small businesses. We work with a CDFI bank and are trying to get CDFI certification.

Immanuel Bassey, South Dakota Black Chamber of Commerce, Sioux Falls, SD

CDFIs drive local economic growth by financing small businesses, creating jobs, and expanding affordable housing. They support rural and tribal communities, fund critical services like childcare and health clinics, and have invested $298 billion in underserved areas since 2010.

Yasmin Badri, MicroCare Community Development Solutions, Tucson, AZ

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

The work of CDFIs is critical to supporting credit in underserved communities.
