Testimonials

We have been able to utilize NMTC and without this financing many of the projects we have done in Minneapolis would not have been possible. It’s been a wonderful facility to support small businesses, economic development, and critical services to low-income communities. Please continue these programs, they do make a difference.

Joshua Howe, Optimistic Partners, Saint Paul, MN

We have a critical community project that we are planning to build this year using CDFI funds. It will create new jobs and help small business owners.

Dana Nelson, Tubman, Minneapolis, MN

We ask for your support because CDFIs are a reliable and thoroughly vetted resource to urban, suburban, and rural communities across the country, ensuring businesses and homebuyers have access to capital that helps alleviate generational poverty.

Renay Dossman, Neighborhood Development Center, Saint Paul, MN

We want ALL entrepreneurs to have access to capitol to support their businesses. Especially those that may be deemed unbankable.
