Testimonials

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

CDFIs provide financial services, education and loans to support economic growth and development for families and small businesses. Many qualify, but are unable to secure needed funding through mainstream, traditional financial sources. The work of CDFIs enriches our communities and the quality of life for residents.

-Sheilah Clay, Purposeful Consulting, LLC, Farmington Hills, MI

CDFIs provide an important unique opportunity support communities by creating opportunities for underbanked companies and individuals to pull themselves up by their bootstrap by creating new businesses, housing and strengthening financial composites
