Testimonials

CDFIs create impactful changes in communities and provide catalytic growth and changes which provide jobs, particularly in low and moderate in come areas.

-Kathy Bonney, Clearinghouse CDFI, Lake Forest, CA

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.

-Kavita Raman, KRG Consulting, San Francisco, Ca

CDFIs have been essential vehicles for moving investment capital into communities that otherwise cannot access capital. We provide important technical assistance and financial support to grow businesses, finance projects, and revitalize communities thanks to investments from the CDFI Fund, which we then leverage with other private capital.

-Thomas De Simone, Genesis LA, Los Angeles, CA
