Rural Electric Economic Development Fact Sheet

I support CDFIs because they provide needed capital for small businesses and first-time homebuyers. This capital allows people to build wealth and/or provide a product/service to their community, which leads to economic prosperity for the local area. Because the financing is provided as a loan, clients are equally invested in the success of their home/business.

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.
