Testimonials

CDFIs fill a vital need in Michigan by supporting community and economic development in under-served areas. Continuing to fund CDFIs will allow them to provide financial support for communities that would otherwise be left behind.

-Charlotte J. Smith, Community Economic Development Association of Michigan, Lansing, MI

I support CDFIs because I’ve witnessed the economic development they bring to an underserved community and the people that inhabit these areas.

-Taney Turner, ELGA Credit Union, Grand Blanc, MI

I have watched how CDFIs support small business owners and home owners where banks and credit unions could not. The amount banks charge is often above what people can pay, CDFIs that are nonprofits even the playing field for them by investing in the people and not company profits.
