Grow South Dakota Fact Sheet

True core CDFIs are the leaders and support mechanisms in rural communities. They are the local trusted partners that positively impact individuals, companies and communities to build equity and hope into areas that are difficult to develop.

-Lori Moen, GROW SD, Sisseton, SD

[The CDFI Fund] provides a vital funding source which enables our organization to sustain and start-up businesses in our rural SD communities. Without that support, our rural communities would die because there would be nothing to keep our young families in the communities. The opportunities they need for their careers would be gone.

-Craig J. Carson, GrowSD, Sisseton, SD

CDFI are critical in our outline areas. The focus areas and collaborative efforts with tribal members continue to be a success.

-Eric Shepherd, Sisseton Wahpeton Housing Authority, Sisseton, SD
